A Jew came to the Prophet of Allah and his Companions and said: “As-Samu Alaikum (Death be upon you).” So the people replied to him. The Prophet of Allah said: “Do you know what this person said?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know better – he said the Salam – O Allah’s Prophet.” He said: “No, rather he said like this and that. Bring him back for e=me.” So they brought him back and he said: “Did you say As-Samu Alaikum? He said: “Yes.” So with that Allah’s Prophet said: “When one of the People of the Book gives you the Salam, then say: “Alaika Ma Qulta (Whatever you said to you too).” He said: ‘And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not.’  

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا أَتَى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ سَلَّمَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا رُدُّوهُ عَلَىَّ فَرَدُّوهُ قَالَ قُلْتَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ (وإِذَا جَاءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ )  

[Machine] A Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was with his companions, and he said, "Peace be upon you." The people replied to him and said, "And upon you be peace, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then asked them, "Do you know what he said?" They said, "Yes, he said, 'Peace be upon you.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Respond to him by saying, 'Upon you be the same.'" So they responded to the man and said, "Upon you be the same." Then the Prophet ﷺ asked the man, "Did you say such and such?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "When anyone from the People of the Book greets you with peace, say, 'And upon you be peace,' meaning upon you be what you have said."  

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ فَرَدُّوهُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا عَلَيْكَ أَيْ عَلَيْكَ مَا قُلْتَ  

[Machine] A Jewish man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Assalamu alaikum," (peace be upon you). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Wa alaikum assalam. Do you know what he said?" They said, "He said, 'Assalamu alaikum' to you," The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Should we not kill him?" They replied, "No, but when the people of the book greet you with 'Assalamu alaikum,' you should reply with 'Wa alaikum assalam.'"  

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا مَرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺفَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْكَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا أَلَا نَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] While the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was sitting with his companions, a Jew passed by them and greeted them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Return his greeting." They asked, "How should we do that?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You should reply 'And upon you' when he greets you, just as you would say 'Peace be upon you' when he greets you."  

بَيْنَمَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِمْ يَهُودِيٌّ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُدُّوهُ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ؟ قُلْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ سَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكَ أَيْ مَا قُلْتَ  

[Machine] "A Jew greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said 'As-Salamu Alaikum' (peace be upon you). The Prophet ﷺ responded by saying 'Return the greeting to me'. The Jew asked, 'Did you say As-Salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you)?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Yes'. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When anyone from the People of the Book greets you with Salam, say 'Wa Alaikum' (and upon you).'  

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا سَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ رُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ أَقُلْتَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكَ  

[Machine] "A Jew greeted the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, saying, 'As-salamu 'alaykum' (peace be upon you). The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Do you know what he said?' They replied, 'Yes, he greeted us by saying 'as-salamu 'alaykum.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No, he actually said 'as-samu 'alaykum' (death be upon you), meaning that you should abandon your religion. So when a person from the People of the Book greets you, respond by saying 'wa 'alayk' (and upon you).'"  

أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا سَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ «لَا إِنَّمَا قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيْ تُسَامُونَ دِينَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكَ»
