Kissing hands and feet is permittedHADITH(1) It is in Hadith - Umm Aban, daughter of al-Wazi ibn Zari narrated that her grandfather Zari al-Abdi, who was a member of the delegation of Abd al- Qays, said: “When we came to Medina, we raced to be first to dismount and kiss the hand and foot of Allah’s Apostle ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ). But al- Mundhir al-Ashajj waited until he came to the bundle of his clothes. He put on his two garments and then he went to the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ).Abu Dawud narrates the above Hadith in his Sunan, book of Adab (vol. 4, p. 357 # 5225 ).Bayhaqi in the Sunan (7: 102 ).At-Tayalisi in his Musnad. Al-Bazzar in his Musnad (3: 278 ).Al- Haithami narrated it.

Tabarani declared it Sahih in two of his books: al- Mujam al-Kabir (vol. 5, p. 275 # 5313 ); and al- Mujam al-Awsat (vol. 1, p. 133 # 418 ).Imam Bukhari has devoted a chapter on kissing the feet in his famous book al-Adab al-Mufrad. He has reported the above Hadith from Wazi ibn Aamir ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ), who was part of the delegation, in the following words on page number339 , Hadith number 975 . Imam Bukhari reports - It is reported by Zari ibn Aamir who came to Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) along with delegation of Abul Qays - ﻗَﺪِﻣْﻨَﺎ ﻓَﻘِﻴْﻞَ: ﺫَﺍﮎَ ﺭَﺳُﻮْﻝُ ﺍﷲِ ﺻﻠﯽ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ. ﻓَﺄَﺧَﺬْﻧَﺎ ﺑِﻴَﺪَﻳْﻪِ ﻭَﺭِﺟْﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻧُﻘَﺒِّﻠُﻬَﺎ [Meaning - We came to Madina, (we) were told: That was the Holy Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ). So we enveloped the blessed hands and feet of the Holy Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and began to kiss them].(2) It is in Hadith - Suhayb ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) was the freed slave of Abbas ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) He states: ﺭَﺃَﻳْﺖُ ﻋَﻠِﻴًّﺎ ﻳُﻘَﺒِّﻞُ ﻳَﺪَ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺒَّﺎﺱِ ﻭَﺭِﺟْﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻭَﻳَﻘُﻮْﻝُ: ﻳَﺎ ﻋَﻢِّ ﺍﺭْﺽَ ﻋَﻨِّﻲ - ( Meaning - I saw Ali ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ) kissing the hands and feet of Abbas ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) and he would keep saying this: O my Uncle! be pleased with me).Imam Bukhari narrated the above Hadith in al- Adab al-Mufrad (p.339 # 976 ).It is also reported by ad-Dhahabi in Siyar Alam an- Nubala (vol. 2, p. 94);Mizzi reported it in Tahdhib al-Kamal (vol. 13, p. 240 # 2905 ); andMuqri in Taqbil al-Yad (p. 76 # 15).(3) It is in Hadith - Narrated Safwan bin Assal ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) Once, two Jews came to Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and asked him a question. The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) answered them. Thereafter, they kissed the hands and feet of the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and told him that they bear testimony that he is Nabi. ( ﻓَﻘَﺒَّﻠُﻮْﺍ ﻳَﺪَﻳْﻪِ ﻭَﺭِﺟْﻠَﻴْﻪِ. ﻭَﻗَﺎﻟُﻮﺍ: ﻧَﺸْﻬَﺪُ ﺃَﻧَّﮏَ ﻧَﺒِﻲٌّ )The above Hadith is narrated by Nasai in as-Sunan (vol. 7, p. 111 # 4078 ).Ibn Maja in as-Sunan (vol. 2, p.1221 # 3705 ).Tirmidhi in as-Sunan (vol. 5, pp. 77, 305 # 2733 , 3144 ).Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in al-Musnad (vol. 4, pp. 239 , 240 ).Hakim in al-Mustadrak (vol. 1, p.52 # 20 ).Tayalisi in al- Musnad (p. 160 # 1164 ). And Maqdisi in al- Ahadith al-Mukhtara (vol. 8, p. 29 # 18 ).(4) - Ibn Kathir, the Famous student of Ibn Taymiyya writes a Hadith in the exegesis of (verse101 , Sura Al-Maida )Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) got annoyed over something: ﻓَﻘَﺎﻡَ ﺇِﻟَﻴْﻪِ ﻋُﻤَﺮُ ﺑْﻦُ ﺍﻟْﺨَﻄَّﺎﺏِ ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻓَﻘَﺒَّﻞَ ﺭِﺟْﻠَﻪُ ﻭَﻗَﺎﻝَ: ﻳَﺎ ﺭَﺳُﻮْﻝَ ﺍﷲِ، ﺭَﺿِﻴْﻨَﺎ ﺑِﺎﷲِ ﺭَﺑًّﺎ ﻭَﺑِﮏَ ﻧَﺒِﻴًّﺎ ﻭَﺑِﺎﻹِْﺳْﻠَﺎﻡِ ﺩِﻳْﻨًﺎ ﻭَﺑِﺎﻟْﻘُﺮْﺁﻥِ ﺇِﻣَﺎﻣًﺎ ﻓَﺎﻋْﻒُ ﻋَﻨَّﺎ ﻋَﻔَﺎ ﺍﷲُ ﻋَﻨْﮏَ ﻓَﻠَﻢْ ﻳَﺰَﻝْ ﺑِﻪِ ﺣَﺘَّﯽ ﺭَﺿِﻲَ. “Then Umar ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) stood up and kissed the blessed feet of the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and said: OMessenger of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ), we are pleased with Allah (ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) being Sustainer, you being the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ), Islam being the Deen and the Holy Quran being the Guide. Forgive us. Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) would further be pleased with you. So Umar ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) kept on saying it till the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) became pleased.(5) It is in Hadith - Bukhari narrates it in his Sahih : al-Zuhri said: Anas bin Malik told me: The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) came out after the sun passed the mid-point of the sky and offered the Zuhr prayer (in congregation). After finishing it with Taslim, he stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Hour and mentioned there would happen great events before it. Then he said, Whoever wants to ask me any question, may do so, for by Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ), you will not ask me about anything but I will inform you of it as long as I am at this place of mine. The people were weeping profusely (because of the Prophets - ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ - anger). Allahs Apostle ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) kept saying, Ask Me! Then a man got and asked, Where will my entrance be, O Allahs Apostle( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )? The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said, The Fire. Then Abd Allah ibn Hudhafa got up and asked, Who is my father, OAllahs Apostle( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )? The Prophet( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) replied, Your father is Hudhafa. The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) then kept on saying (angrily), Ask me! Ask me! `Umar ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) then fell to his knees and said, We have accepted Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) as our Lord and Islam as our religion and Muhammad ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) as our Apostle. Allahs Apostle ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) became quiet when Umar ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) said that. Then Allahs Apostle ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said, Woe! By Him in Whose Hand my life is, Paradise and Hell were displayed before me just now, across this wall while I was praying, and I never saw such good and evil as I have seen today.Muslim narrates the above Hadith in (Kitab al- fadail) adds: There was no harder day on the Companions than that day.Bukhari narrates it in the third chapter of Kitab al- i`tisam bi al-kitab wa al-sunna; also in Kitab al-`ilm, chapters 28 and 29 (English: Volume 1, Book 3, Number 90-93 ), and in Kitab mawaqit al-salat, chapter 11: (Volume 1, Book 10, Number 515). Tabari narrates it in mursal through al-Suddi in his Tafsir in commenting on verse 5: 101Ibn Hajar in his commentary on the collated accounts of this Hadith (Fath al-Bari 1989 ed. 13:335 ) said there is evidence in this Hadith for (the following issues).(a) The Companions close observation of the states of the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and the intensity of their fear when he became angry, lest it result in a matter that would become generalized and extend to all of them.(b) Umars ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) confidence in the Prophets (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) love.(c) The permissibility of kissing the foot of a person.(d) The permissibility of anger in exhortation.(e) The students kneeling in front of the one who benefits him.(f) The followers kneeling before the one followed if he asks him for a certain need.(g) The lawfulness of seeking refuge from dissension when something occurs which might result in its fore shadowing.(h) The use of pairing (subjects) in dua in (Umar- ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) words: Forgive (us), and Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) will be further pleased with you (fafu af allahu anka).(7) It is in Hadith - Imam Muqri quoted Burayda ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) as reported in his Book Taqbil al-Yad (p. 64 # 5 ) that once a Bedouin came to Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ). He said: I have embraced Islam but I want more so that my faith should be strengthened. Then the Prophet( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) allowed him and a tree came to the Bedouin on his call and the tree said: O Prophet of Allah( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ). (There is a long tradition that follows it).The Bedouin saw all of these signs and said - ﻳﺎ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ! ﺃﺋﺬﻥ ﻟﻲ ﺃﻥ ﺃﻗﺒﻞ ﺭﺃﺳﻚ ﻭﺭﺟﻠﻚ - (Meaning - O Prophet of Allah ((ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )! Allow me to kiss your blessed forehead and blessed feat). The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) gave permission to the Bedouin. Then he requested for falling in prostration. The Prophet (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) did not allow him.Above Hadith is reported by Qadi Iyad in ash- Shifaa, 1: 299 ;al-Bazzaar, Musnad, 3:49,Ibn Hajar Asqalani has also narrated the above Hadith in Fath al-Bari (vol. 11, p. 57).(8) It is in Hadith - Hakim narrated on the authority of Buraidah ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) that a person came to Prophet Mohammad ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and kissed his blessed hands and feet.(Al-Hakim - al Mustadrak).(9) It is in Hadith - It is narrated that in the battle of Hunain, Abu Sufyaan ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) was with Prophet Mohammad ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ). Hadhrat Abbas ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) submitted, “OProphet of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ), this is your cousin, Abu Sufyaan ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ), please be happy with him.” Prophet (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) accepted the intercession of Abbas (ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ) and said, “I am pleased with him. May Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) forgive all the enmity he showed against us.” Thereafter, Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) turned to Abbas ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ) and said, “Verily he is our brother.” Abbas ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) said “I kissed his (Prophets - ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) blessed foot while he was seated on his camel.”(Hakim reported this Hadith in his Mustadrak, under chapter Virtues of Abu Sufayaan (ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ).(10) When Imam Bukhari came to Nishapur, the city of Imam Muslims residence, he (Imam Muslim) came out to see him. It is reported in almost in every book of the biography of Imams that Imam Muslim kissed the forehead of Imam Bukhari and then requested his permission to kiss his feet in these words - ﺩﻋﻨﻲ ﺣﺘﯽ ﺃﻗﺒّﻞ ﺭﺟﻠﻴﮏ، ﻳﺎ ﺃﺳﺘﺎﺫ ﺍﻷﺳﺘﺎﺫﻳﻦ ﻭﺳﻴﺪ ﺍﻟﻤﺤﺪّﺛﻴﻦ ﻭﻃﺒﻴﺐ ﺍﻟﺤﺪﻳﺚ ﻓﻲ ﻋﻠﻠﻪ (Meaning - O Teacher of teachers, Master of Hadith scholars and Doctor of Ahadith Authenticity, allow me to kiss your feet.”The above is reported by Ibn Nuqta in at-Taqyid li Marifa Ruwat as-Sunan wal-Masanid (vol. 1, p. 33);ad-Dhahabi in Siyar Alam an-Nubala (vol. 12, p. 432 , 436 );Nawawi in Tahdhib al-Asma wal- Lughat (vol. 1, p. 88)and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in Muqaddima Fath al-Bari (p. 488).(11) It is in Hadith - A man came to Prophet (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and told him that he had taken a vow that should Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) grant Rasoolullah ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) victory over Makka, he would go to Kaaba and kiss its threshold. The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) instructed him: Go and kiss the feet of your mother. Your vow will be complete.(Allama Aynee - Umdat al Qari, sharah al-Bukhari).(12) It is in Hadith - Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) that the Sahabah ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮫ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮩﻢ ﺍﺟﻤﻌﯿﻦ ) kissed the blessed hands of Prophet Mohammad (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) (Abu Dawood).(13) It is in Hadith - Ashbah ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) went to the court of the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ), held his (Prophet - ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) hand and kissed it. Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) said, In you there are two habits which are dear to Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ) and the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )(Bukhari - Adab al Mufrad).(14) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ummul Momineen Aisha ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮩﺎ ) who said: When the Messenger of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) entered her home, she stood up to welcome him and kissed his blessed hand.(Abu Dawood).(15) It is in Hadith - Tabarani narrates from Kab bin Malik (ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ).

Some people began to flee and I was amongst them. We said, “What will we do now, we fled the battlefield and earned the anger of Allah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮧ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﯽ ). Then we thought of returning to Madina and presenting ourselves to Prophet Mohammad ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) thinking to ourselves that if our repentance is accepted, then well and good, otherwise we will return. We came to him before the morning prayers. When he came out, he inquired as to who we were. We replied that we are the ones who fled the battlefield. He replied, “Nay, you are the ones who have returned from the battlefield. I am your ‘fiah’ (supporting group) and a ‘fiah’ to all Muslims.” We came to him and kissed his hand.( Ahmad, Bukhari, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja, Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn al Arabi).(17) It is in Hadith - Tabarani narrates with a good chain that Salamah bin Akwa ( ﺭﺿﺊ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽ ﻋﻨﮧ ) said, “I pledged allegiance at the hands of Prophet Mohammad ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) and also kissed his hands.
