كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَ يَرْدُدْنَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى الشَّابَّةِ مِنْهُنَّ وَ يَقُولُ أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يُعْجِبَنِي صَوْتُهَا فَيَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا أَطْلُبُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e Bin Abdullah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It was so that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> would greet (السَّلَامُ) upon the women and they were returning the greeting upon him<sup>saww</sup>; and it was so that Amir Al Momineen<sup>asws</sup> would greet (السَّلَامُ) upon the women, and he<sup>asws</sup> used to dislike greeting (السَّلَامُ) upon the young ones from them, and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying (it is so that): ‘One should be afraid that her voice might astound him, so what would enter upon him would be more than what he is seeking from the Recompense’.
