Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28853

Qutaibah narrated to us, Ibn Lahi’ah narrated to us, on the authority of Amr bin Shuaib, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “None of us Imitate others. Do not imitate the Jews or the Christians, for greeting the Jews is a sign of the finger and greeting the Christians. Pointing with the palms.” Abu Issa said, “This is a hadith whose chain of transmission is weak.” Ibn al-Mubarak narrated this hadith on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah. He did not raise it
