Prophet of Allah,(PBUH)greeted them whenever he passed by them
Anas ibn Maalik narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, passed by two children playing and greeted them with Salaam (saying Assalaamu ‘Alaykum).”1
Anas ibn Maalik narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, passed by me while I was playing with other children and greeted us with Salaam.”2
The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would do this just to bring joy to the hearts of these children and give them an emotional and psychological boost to get them used to conversing with elders. This also helped them break the barrier of fear that youngsters usually have when dealing with elders, which shows great wisdom on the part of the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
