Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28879

Suwayd told us, Abdullah told us, Khaled Al-Hadha told us, on the authority of Abu Tamimah Al-Hujaimi, on the authority of a man, from his people, who said, “I asked for the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.” He greeted me, but I was not able to do so, so I sat down, and suddenly he was among them, and I did not know him. He was making peace between them, so when he finished, he stood up with him. Some of them said, O Messenger of God. When I saw that, I said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God. Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God. Peace be upon you, O Messenger. God said, “Indeed, peace be upon you, the greeting of the dead. Indeed, upon you, peace be upon you, is the greeting of the dead.” Three times, then He approached me and said, “When a man meets his Muslim brother, let him say, ‘Peace and God’s mercy be upon you.’” Then he responded to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said, “ May God’s mercy be upon you, may God’s mercy be upon you, may God’s mercy be upon you, and may God’s mercy be upon you.” Abu Issa said, and he narrated this. The hadith is Abu Ghaffar, on the authority of Abu Tamimah Al-Hujaimi, on the authority of Abu Jarry, Jabir bin Sulaym Al-Hujaimi, who said: I came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he mentioned the hadith. Abu Tamimah's name is Tarif bin Mujalid.
