What is the hadith that urges any two people to get to know each other when they first meet?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
It is narrated in Sunan al-Tirmidhi that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If a man fraternizes with another man, let him ask him for his name, his father's name, and from whom he is. For that is more conducive to affection." Al-Tirmidhi said: This is a gharib (strange) ; we do not know it except through this chain of narration, and we do not know of Yazid ibn Nu'amah hearing from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. A similar hadith is narrated from Ibn 'Umar, but its chain of narration is not sound.
