Narrated AbuDharr and AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sit among his Companions. A stranger would come and not recognize him (the Prophet) until he asked (about him). So we asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to make a place where he might take his seat so that when a stranger came, he might recognise him. So we built a terrace of soil on which he would take his seat, and we would sit beside him. He then mentioned something similar to this Hadith saying: A man came, and he described his appearance. He saluted from the side of the assembly, saying: Peace be upon you, Muhammad. The Prophet (ﷺ) then responded to him

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا جرير، عن ابي فروة الهمداني، عن ابي زرعة بن عمرو بن جرير، عن ابي ذر، وابي، هريرة قالا كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يجلس بين ظهرى اصحابه فيجيء الغريب فلا يدري ايهم هو حتى يسال فطلبنا الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ان نجعل له مجلسا يعرفه الغريب اذا اتاه - قال - فبنينا له دكانا من طين فجلس عليه وكنا نجلس بجنبتيه وذكر نحو هذا الخبر فاقبل رجل فذكر هييته حتى سلم من طرف السماط فقال السلام عليك يا محمد . قال فرد عليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
