A group of Jews came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "As-samu 'Alaika " (Death be on you), and I understood it and said to them, "Alaikum AsSamu wa-l-la'na (Death and curse be on you)." Allah's Apostle said, "Be calm! O ʿAisha, for Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters." I said. "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Haven't you heard what they have said?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have (already) said (to them), 'Alaikum (upon you).' "  

دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

The Jews used to greet the Prophet ﷺ by saying, "As-Samu 'Alaika (i.e., death be upon you), so I understood what they said, and I said to them, "As-Samu 'alaikum wal-la'na (i.e. Death and Allah's Curse be upon you)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Be gentle and calm, O ʿAisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all affairs." I said, "O Allah's Prophet! Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear me answering them back by saying, 'Alaikum (i.e., the same be upon you)?"  

كَانَ الْيَهُودُ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُونَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَفَطِنَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُونَ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي أَنِّي أَرُدُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَقُولُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

ʿAisha said, "The Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, "As-Samu 'Alaika (i.e., Death be upon you)." He replied, 'The same on you.' " ʿAisha said to them, "Death be upon you, and may Allah curse you and shower His wrath upon you!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ I said, "Be gentle and calm, O ʿAisha! Be gentle and beware of being harsh and of saying evil things." She said, "Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear what I replied (to them)? have returned their statement to them, and my invocation against them will be accepted but theirs against me will not be accepted."  

أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ وَإِيَّاكِ وَالْعُنْفَ أَوِ الْفُحْشَ قَالَتْ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قُلْتُ رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لِي فِيهِمْ وَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيَّ  

(the wife of the Prophet) A group of Jews entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, "As-Samu-Alaikum." (i.e. death be upon you). I understood it and said, "Wa-Alaikum As-Samu wal-la'n. (death and the curse of Allah be Upon you)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "Be calm, O ʿAisha! Allah loves that on, should be kind and lenient in all matters." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Haven't you heard what they (the Jews) have said?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "I have (already) said (to them) "And upon you ! "  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (and when they were admitted) they said, "As- Samu 'Alaika (Death be upon you)." I said (to them), "But death and the curse of Allah be upon you!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "O ʿAisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient in all matters." I said, "Haven't you heard what they said?" He said, "I said (to them), 'Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you).  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ قُلْتُ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

'A'isha, verily Allah is kind and He loves kindness and confers upon kindness which he does not confer upon severity and does not confer upon anything else besides it (kindness).  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ وَمَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ  

Abu'l-Qasim (the Kunya of the Holy Prophet), as-Sam-u-'Alaikum, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Wa 'Alaikum. A'isha reported: In response to these words of theirs, I said: But let there be death upon you and disgrace also, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A'isha, do not use harsh words. She said: Did you hear what they said? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Did I not respond to them when they said that; I said to them: Wa 'Alaikum (let it be upon you).  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَالذَّامُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ لاَ تَكُونِي فَاحِشَةً فَقَالَتْ مَا سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالُوا فَقَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِي قَالُوا قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ  

Allah is gentle, likes gentleness, and gives for gentleness what he does not give for harshness.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ  

that a group of Jews entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and they said: "As-Samu 'Alaik (death be upon you)." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Wa 'Alaik (And upon you)." So 'Aishah said: "I said: '[Rather] upon you be death and the curse.'" So the Prophet ﷺ said: "O 'Aishah! Indeed Allah loves gentleness in every matter." 'Aishah said: "Did you not hear what they said?" He said: "And I replied: 'And upon you.'"  

إِنَّ رَهْطًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness in all things."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ  

who attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted is kind and loves kindness. He is pleased with it and helps you with it as long as it is not misplaced. When you ride dumb beasts, stop them in their stopping places, and quicken their pace when the land is barren. Travel by night, because the land is travelled faster at night than it is during the day. Beware of pitching tents on the road, for it is the path of animals and the abode of snakes."  

يَرْفَعُهُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رَفِيقٌ، يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيَرْضَى بِهِ، وَيُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ مَا لاَ يُعِينُ عَلَى الْعُنْفِ۔ فَإِذَا رَكِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الدَّوَابَّ الْعُجْمَ فَأَنْزِلُوهَا مَنَازِلَهَا۔ فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الأَرْضُ جَدْبَةً فَانْجُوا عَلَيْهَا بِنِقْيِهَا۔ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسَيْرِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّ الأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ مَا لاَ تُطْوَى بِالنَّهَارِ۔ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّعْرِيسَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ الدَّوَابِّ وَمَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ۔»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿAllah is Kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness.ʿ  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ

As-Sam-u-'Alaikum. A'isha said in response: As-Sam-u-'Alaikum (death be upon you) and curse also, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A'isha, verily Allah loves kindness in every matter.

[Machine] If the land is fertile, then aim for exploration and give the travelers their rights; for indeed, Allah is Kind who loves kindness. But if it is arid, then flee and rely on the camel (for transportation); for indeed, the land folds at night and be cautious of the wild animals on the road; for indeed, it is the abode of snakes and the hunting ground of predators.  

إِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ مُخْصِبَةً فَتَقَصَّدُوا فِي السَّيْرِ وَأَعْطُوا الرِّكَابَ حَقَّهَا؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مُجْدِبَةً فَانْجُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّلْجَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّعْرِيسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ وَمَدْرَجَةُ السِّبَاعِ

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Indeed, Allah is compassionate and loves compassion. He is pleased with it and assists with it, unlike violence. So, when you ride these foreign animals (in reference to camels), guide them gently to their designated locations. If the earth becomes barren, move on from it. For, indeed, the earth is folded during the night in a way that it is not folded during the day. And beware of riding through the dirt road, as it is the path of animals and the abode of insects."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيَرْضَاهُ وَيُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُعِينُ عَلَى الْعُنْفِ فَإِذَا رَكِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الدَّوَابَّ الْعُجْمَ فَأَنْزِلُوهَا مَنَازِلَهَا فَإِنْ أَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَانْجُوا عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ مَا لَا تُطْوَى بِالنَّهَارِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّعْرِيسَ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَإِنَّهُ طَرِيقُ الدَّوَابِّ وَمَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ

ؓ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ وَمَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ  

"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى رفيقٌ يُحبُّ الرِّفْقَ، وَيَرْضَاهُ، ويُعِينُ عَلَيهِ مَا لا يُعِينُ عَلَى الْعُنْف؛ فَإِذَا ركبْتُمْ هذه الدَّوَابَّ الْعُجمَ فَنَزِّلوُها منَازِلها، وإنْ أَجْدَبَت الأرْضُ فانْجُوا عَلَيها؛ فَإنَّ الأرضَ تُطوَى باللَّيل ما لا تُطوى بالنَّهَارِ، وإِيَّاكُمْ والتّعْريسَ بالطَّريق. فَإِنَّهُ طَرِيقُ الدَّوابِّ، ومأوَى الْحيَّاتِ".  

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ رَفِيقٌ يُحبُّ الرِّفْقَ، فَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي الخصب فَأمْكنِوا الرِّكَابَ أسِنَّتها، ولا تُجاوزوا بِهَا الْمَنَازِلَ، وَإذا سِرْتُمْ فِي الْجَدْبِ فانْجُوا وَعَلَيكمْ بالدّلْجةِ ، فَإِنَّ الأرض تُطْوى باللَّيلِ، وإنْ تَغَوَّلتْ بكُمْ الْغيَلانُ فَنَادوا بالأذانِ، وَإِيَّاكمْ والصلاةَ عَلَى جَوادِّ الطَّريق؛ فَإِنَّها مَمَرُّ السِّبَاعِ، ومَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ".  

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرفقَ في الأمْرِ كُلِّه، ويُحبُّ كُلَّ قَلبٍ خَاشعٍ حَزينٍ رَحيمٍ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيرَ، ويَدْعُو إِلى طَاعَة الله، وَيُبْغِضُ كُلَّ قَلبٍ قَاس لاهٍ، يَنَامُ اللَّيلَ كُلَّهُ، وَلا يَذْكُرُ الله تَعَالى فَلَا يدْرِى؛ يَرُدُّ الله رُوحَهُ أمْ لا؟ ".  

"إِنَّ الله رَفيقٌ يُحبُّ الرِّفْقَ ويَرْضَاه وَيُعينُ عَلَيه ما لا يُعينُ عَلى العُنْفِ".  

Allah is gentle, likes gentleness, and gives for gentleness what he does not give for harshness. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4807)   

"إِنَّ الله رَفيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، ويُعْطى عَلَيه مَا لا يُعْطى عَلَى الْعُنْفِ".  

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ لَيُعْطِى على الرفق ما لا يُعطى على الْخُرْقِ ، وَإِذا أحَبَّ الله عَبْدًا أعْطَاهُ الرفق؛ مَا مِنْ أهْلِ بيت يُحْرَمُونَ الرِّفق إِلَّا قَدْ حُرِموا".  

"إِنَّ الله تعالى لَيُعطى على الرفْقِ ما لا يُعطى على الْخُرْقِ ، فإِذا أَحبَّ الله عَبْدًا أَعطاه الرِّفقَ، ما من أَهلِ بيت يُحرَمون الرفقَ إلا قد حُرِموا".  

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness in all things." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3689)   

"إِنَّ الله يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأمْرِ كُلِّهِ ".  

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، ويَرْضَاه، ويعينُ عليه ما لا يُعِينُ عَلَى العنف".  

Allah is gentle, likes gentleness, and gives for gentleness what he does not give for harshness. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4807)   

("إِنَّ الله يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، ويُعْطِى عَلَيه، ما لا يُعْطِي على العنف".  

"إذا كَانَت الأرضُ مُخْصِبَة فتقصّدُوا في السّيرِ، وأعْطُوا الرِّكابَ حقها؛ فإِنَّ الله تعالى رَفيقٌ يُحبُّ الرِّفْقَ، وإنْ كانَتْ مُجْدِبَةً فأنُجوُا، وَعليكمْ بالدُّلَجْةِ؛ فإِنَّ الأرْض. تُطوى باللَّيل، وإياكُمْ والتعْرِيسَ على ظهرِ الطَّرِيقِ، فإِنه مأوى الحيَّاتِ ومدرجةُ السِّباع" .  

"مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ الله يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ في الأمْرِ كُلِّهِ".  

"يَا عَائِشَةُ: إِن الله رَفِيق يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ في الأمْرِ كُلِّهِ".  

"يَا عَائِشَةُ: إِنَّ الله رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، وَيُعْطِى عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِى عَلَى الْعُنْفِ، وَمَا لَا يُعْطِى عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ".
