[Machine] "A Jewish man passed by the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, and greeted them by saying 'As-Sam Alaykum' (a phrase of disrespect). The companions of the Prophet ﷺ responded to him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'He only said 'As-Sam Alaykum' to you.' The Jewish man was then captured and brought to the Prophet ﷺ , where he confessed. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Return to them what they said.'"

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأُخِذَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَاعْتَرَفَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُدُّوا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا قَالُوا
