Excerpt
And whenever ye come to the valley of Miná—for then ye have come to that in which is my heart's being— Deliver to all who dwell there the greetings of love from me, or only say, 'Peace be with you!' And hearken what they will reply, and tell how one who is heartsick Complains of the ardours of love, while he is hiding nothing, seeking information, and asking questions.

According to Ibn Arabî in the Tarjumân al-Ashwâq, the poet asks his companions, once they reach Miná, the valley of pilgrimage near Mecca where his heart dwells, to deliver his greetings of love or simply to say "Peace be with you!". Today, greet each person you meet with a true wish for peace, looking them in the eyes.
