Hawzah News Agency – The merciful prophet of Islam, peace be upon him and his household says:
خَمسٌ لا أدَعُهُنَّ حَتّى المَماتِ: ... والتَّسليمُ على الصِّبيانِ لِتَكونَ سُنَّةً مِن بَعدي.
'There are five things that I will never leave until death: ... and greeting the young, in order that it may remain a practice after me.'
