The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out and I followed him until he entered a grove of palm trees.

I went to look, and he raised his head and said: "What is the matter, O" Abdur-Rahman?" I told him what it was and he said: "Jibreel () said to me: "Shall I not tell you the glad tidings? Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says to you: “Whoever sends blessings upon you, I shall send blessings upon him, and whoever sends salams upon you, I shall send salams upon him.”
