TRUE Muslim's morals. P12 of 13

Shaking hands when meeting and saying salam is part of the etiquette of Islam and its good morals. It's an expression for love and mercy between the two who shake hands, as it dispels hatred, rancour and grudges among the Muslims. There is a great hadeth which speaks of its virtue, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said "There are no two Muslims who meet and shake hands with one another, but they'll be forgiven before they part. Narrated by Abu Dawood (5212); classed as saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Shaking hands was a custom that was well known among the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them). It was narrated that Qatadah said: I said to Anas ibn Malik: Did the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) shake hands with one another? He said: Yes. Narrated by al-Bukhari (6263)

Shaking hands happens when one man places his hand in the hand of his companion; this is what is implied by the Arabic word 'musafahah' (handshaking), as stated in Mujam Maqayes Al-Lughah (3/229) and elsewhere. Based on this the apparent meaning of the ahadeth quoted above about handshaking may be understood.
Hence most of the scholars are of the view that shaking hands with one hand is the Sunnah, and this is the usual custom among the Muslims and the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them).

Shaykh Al-Albaani said in Al-Silsilah Al-Sahehah (1/22), mentioning what is to be learned from some ahadeth "Taking hold of one hand when shaking hands. This is mentioned in many ahadeth, and it's what is implied linguistically." I say: In some of the ahadeth referred to this meaning may also be understood, such as the marfoo hadeth of Huzayfah When the believer meets a fellow believer and he greets him with salam and takes him by the hand and shakes hands with him, their sins will fall like the leaves of a tree. Al-Munziri said (3/270) "It was narrated by Al-Tabarani in Al-Awsat and I don't know of anyone who is majrooh (unacceptable) among its narrators. I say: And it has corroborating evidence which raises it to the level of being saheeh." These ahadeeth all indicate that the Sunnah in shaking hands is to use just one hand. End quote.

As for the view of some Hanafi and Maliki fuqaha, that it's mustahabb to shake hands using both hands, putting the palm of the left hand over the back of ones brothers hand, this isn't proven to be Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or from his Sahabah. Rather the most that can be said concerning some ahadeth that refer to it's that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took the hand of one of his companions in both of his hands as a sign of extra care in teaching, guiding and so on, as it says in Saheh Al-Bukhari (6265) and Saheh Muslim (402) that Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught me the tashahhud, holding my hand between both of his.
But that isn't the usual habit, based on the evidence of the previous report which says that the basic principle is shaking hands with one hand, which is stated clearly in some reports. This hadeth indicates that too, because if the custom among the Sahabah had been to shake hands using both hands, Ibn Masood would not have mentioned that. The fact that he mentions it indicates that it was not the usual habit of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with his Sahabah.
Nevertheless, shaking hands using both hands should not be described as a bidah (innovation), rather it's something that is permissible, but the Sunnah, which it's better to adhere to, is to shake hands using just one hand.
It was narrated from Hammad ibn Zayd that he shook hands with Abd-Allah ibn Al-Mubarak using both hands, as is stated in a muallaq report in Saheeh Al-Bukhaari (p. 1206).

بارك الله بكم وعسى كل الزوجات يستمعن ويعملن بما قالهالله ورسوله اولا وما قاله الاخ المحاضر -بارك الله بكم وجزاكم خيرا-فديوقمة بالروعه

[shrshr2007]

كفى أن نقول أن الزوج هو طريق الزوجة إلى الجنة. فعن معاذ بن جبل قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم "لا تؤذي امرأة زوجها إلا قالت زوجته من الحور العين لا تؤذيه قاتلك الله فإنما هو عندك دخيل أوشك أن يفارقك إلينا." صحيح إبن ماجه والألباني.
