Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Waving when giving salaams

Question:

What is the ruling on giving Salaam by waving the hand?
Answer:

It is not permissible to give Salaam by waving, the Sunnah is to speak when giving and when returning greetings of peace. Waving, on the other hand, is not allowed because it resembles the disbelievers, and it is contrary to what Allaah has legislated. In case that a person is far away and is not able to make the other person hear his greeting, then a Muslim can wave in a manner that indicates his greeting, there is no harm in that since there are reports to support it. Similarly, when one is praying, he can respond to a greeting by signalling with his hands, as is authentically reported in the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam).
