Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ
عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَتَّى نَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَنَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Waki' and 'Abd al-Rahman, from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas — from 'Abdullah, from the Prophet ﷺ — that he would give salam to his right and to his left: 'Al-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, al-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah [Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah; peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah]' until the whiteness of his cheek was visible. 'Abd al-Rahman says: until we could see the whiteness of his cheek from this side and the whiteness of his cheek from that side.
