Reward of shaking hands with a Believer




Hudhayfah ibn Al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ” Indeed whenever  a believer meets another believer takes his hand and shakes it,  sins fall from both of them the same way  leaves fall off a tree.”

Collected by At-Tabarani in his Awsot (245) graded Saheeh by Shaykh Al-Albani in his Silsilahtus Saheeh. 6/431
Benefits about this topic:
Sheikh Al-Albani 1421H (may Allah rest him in Jannah) wrote in Silsilahtus Saheeh; 

It is sunnah to take a person’s hand and shake it. And to take both a person’s hands and shake them is contradictory to the sunnah.

Shaking hands is a legislated act at the time of parting as well.

It is an innovation to shake hands directly after the prayer.
(end of quote from Shaykh Nasir.[ 1/ 52] )

Al-bara’ ibn ‘Aazib (may Allah be pleased with him) said,
“Shaking hands is a complete greeting.”
[ # 968 Saheeh Adabul Mufrad]

The first people to introduce the handshake were the people from Yemen.
