Say As-Salamu `Alaikum to your family, for it will be a blessing both to you and to your family

رياض الصالحين بالعربية والإنجليزية - (ج 1 / ص 1101)

861 - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ يا بني إذا

دخلت على أهلك فسلم يكن بركة عليك وعلى أهل بيتك ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح

861. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "Dear son, when you enter your house, say As-Salamu `Alaikum to your family, for it will be a blessing both to you and to your family.''

[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary:

Many people, on returning home, feel belittled in saying As-Salamu `Alaikum to their household. In fact, As-Salam is a prayer for goodness, blessing and peace, and one should have no complex about it.
