Initiating Salam?
When meeting a Muslim, initiating the Salam is a cause for greater virtue. It is mentioned in a Hadith that among people, the one most deserving of closeness to Allah Almighty is the person who initiates the Salam, and in another Hadith, it is stated that the one who initiates the Salam is free from arrogance.
