INITIATE GREETINGS AND EMBRACE

Feb 2, '13 12:09 PM for everyone

An act so simple, and yet forsaken too many a time by many of us. 

Imam Hussain said, "Seventy rewards is the share of the one who initiates a greeting, and only one reward belongs to the one who returns the greeting" (Bihar al-Anwar)

The Holy Prophet said: "When you meet each other, then initiate greeting and embrace, and when you separate from each other, then depart with seeking forgiveness." (Bihar al-Anwar)
