Who should greet first?

Could you reference the narration?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“The young should greet the old, the passer by should greet the sitting one, and the small group of persons should greet the large group of persons”

Answer:

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6231-6234. Also see: Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2160)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
