Touching the mouth and heart after making salaam

Q: I have seen many people that when their feet touch someone else, they make salaam to him. They touch the person and touch their own hearts and then touch their own mouths. Is there any basis for it and should it be done?

A: This is a baseless custom.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
