and in the ḥadīth, there is a reminder of a noble etiquette, which is that a visitor should not leave without seeking permission from the host. Many people in some Arab countries have neglected this noble prophetic guidance, as you find them leaving the gathering without asking for permission, and not only that, but also without offering greetings! This is another violation of Islamic etiquette, as indicated by the following ḥadīth: "When one of you arrives at a gathering, let him greet [those present], and when he wishes to leave, let him greet [them again], for the first greeting is not more deserving than the last."

- "When one of you arrives at a gathering, let him greet [those present], and when he wishes to leave, let him greet [them again], for the first greeting is not more deserving than the last." It was narrated by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (1007 and 1008), Abū Dāwūd (5208), al-Tirmidhī (2/118), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (2/139), Aḥmad (2/230, 287, 429), al-Ḥumaydī (1162), and Abū Yaʿlá in "his Musnad" (p. 306/1), and al-Fākihī in "his ḥadīth from Abū Yaḥyá ibn Abī Maysarah" (1/5/2) from Ibn ʿAjlān from Saʿīd al-Maqburī from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth, and al-Tirmidhī said: "A good ḥadīth." I say: Its isnād is good, all its narrators are trustworthy, and regarding Ibn ʿAjlān, whose name is Muḥammad, there is a slight criticism that does not harm the use of his ḥadīth as evidence, especially since he was followed by Yaʿqūb ibn Zayd al-Taymī from al-Maqburī. And this al-Taymī is trustworthy: thus the ḥadīth is authentic, and all praise is due to Allāh. It has supporting evidence that strengthens it, as will be mentioned. Al-Suyūṭī attributed the ḥadīth in "al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr" and "al-Kabīr" (1/45/1) to Ibn
