۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “The people in a smaller group should greet those in a larger group. Those who are riding should greet those who walk. Those who are riding a horse should greet those who ride a mule, and those who are riding a mule should greet those who are riding a donkey.”
وعنه (عليه السلام) قال
القليل يبدؤون الكثير بالسلام، والراكب يبدأ الماشي، وأصحاب البغال يبدؤون أصحاب الحمير، وأصحاب الخيل يبدؤون أصحاب البغال.
