حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ أَصْحَابِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَجِيءُ الْغَرِيبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا يَدْرِي أَيُّهُمْ هُوَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَطَلَبْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَهُ مَجْلِسًا يَعْرِفُهُ الْغَرِيبُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَنَيْنَا لَهُ دُكَّانًا مِنْ طِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ وَكُنَّا نَجْلِسُ بِجَنْبَتَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَذَكَرَ هَيْئَتَهُ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ مِنْ طَرَفِ السِّمَاطِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to sit among his Companions. A stranger would come and not recognize him (the Prophet) until he asked (about him). So we asked the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to make a place where he might take his seat so that when a stranger came, he might recognise him. So we built a terrace of soil on which he would take his seat, and we would sit beside him. He then mentioned something similar to this Hadith saying: A man came, and he described his appearance. He saluted from the side of the assembly, saying: Peace be upon you, Muhammad. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then responded to him.
