(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 ! " (Using translation from Bukhārī 6024)
