Make the greeting of peace familiar

What It Means: Reading in Context

This closing instruction follows a passage connecting faith with mutual love. The Prophet points to spreading the greeting of peace as a way to encourage that love. “Give currency to” is the source translation’s older expression for making a practice widespread. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 54a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
