Ali (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“When a group of people passes by, it is sufficient if one of them gives a salutation, and it is sufficient for those who are sitting that one of them replies.” Related by Ahmad and Al-Baihaqi.

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ يُجْزِئُ عَنْ اَلْجَمَاعَةِ إِذَا مَرُّوا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ أَحَدُهُمْ, وَيُجْزِئُ عَنْ اَلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ أَحَدُهُمْ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ [1]‏ .‏
