'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "A group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Poison ('sam' instead of 'salam') be upon you." 'A'isha said, "I understood it and said, 'And poison be upon you and the curse of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 'Easy, 'A'isha! Allah loves compassion in everything.' I said, 'Didn't you hear what they said?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'I already said, "and upon you".'"

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ

Anas reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If there is roughness in anything it is bound to disgrace it. Allah is compassionate and loves compassion."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَكُونُ الْخُرْقُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ شَانَهُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ

'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah is compassionate and loves compassion. He gives for compassion what He goes not give for harshness."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لاَ يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ

Once the Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Death be upon you." So I cursed them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter?" I said, "Have you not heard what they said?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you not heard what I replied (to them)? (I said), ('The same is upon you.')"

أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَعَنْتُهُمْ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ قُلْتُ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ

(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 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

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

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. She said: Did you bear what they said? Thereupon he said: Did you not hear that I said (to them): Wa 'Alaikum.

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَتْ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ

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

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Aisha, Allah is gentle and loves gentleness, and He gives for gentleness what He does not give for harshness, and what He does not give for anything else."

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

[AI] "That the Jews entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'As-salamu alaykum.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Wa alaykum as-salam.' Aisha said, 'May Allah curse you!' The Prophet ﷺ said to her, 'Aisha, calm down.' She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, haven't you heard what they said?' He said, 'And haven't you heard my response to them?' Aisha, gentleness does not enter into anything except that it beautifies it, and harshness does not enter into anything except that it tarnishes it.'"

أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا إِخْوَانَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ وَلَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَغَضَبُهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَهْ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ أَوَمَا سَمِعْتِ مَا رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الرِّفْقُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَمْ يُنْزَعْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When you travel in the desert, tie the reins of your camels tightly and do not pass by the dwellings. And when you travel in difficult terrain, seek shelter and make use of the caves. Indeed, the earth folds up at night. And when the sand dunes appear to you, hasten to make the call to prayer and be mindful of performing the prayer on your riding animal and descending from it, for it is the abode of snakes, wild animals, and fulfilling bodily needs. Indeed, it is cursed."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سِرْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ فَأَمْكِنُوا الرِّكَابَ أَسْنَانَهَا وَلَا تُجَاوِزُوا الْمَنَازِلَ وَإِذَاسِرْتُمْ فِي الْجَدْبِ فَاسْتَجِدُّوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالدَّلْجِ فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ وَإِذَا تَغَوَّلَتْ لَكُمُ الْغِيلَانُ فَبَادَرُوا بِالْأَذَانِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالصَّلَاةَ عَلَى جَوَادِّ الطَّرِيقِ وَالنُّزُولَ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ وَالسِّبَاعِ وَقَضَاءِ الْحَاجَةِ فَإِنَّهَا الْمَلَاعِنُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If you are in fertile land, tether your camels and do not exceed the limits. And if you are in barren land, perform istinja (cleaning after using the bathroom) and use the dung for yourselves, for the earth folds at night. And when the wild animals gather around you, initiate the call to prayer and do not pray on the thoroughbred horses or descend upon them, for it is their dwelling place. And do not fulfill your needs on them, for they are cursed."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ فَأَمْكِنُوا الرَّكْبَ أَسِنَّتَهَا وَلَا تَعْدُوا الْمَنَازِلَ وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْجَدْبِ فَاسْتَنْجُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّلْجَةِ فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا تَغَوَّلَتْ لَكُمُ الْغِيلَانُ فَبَادِرُوا بِالْأَذَانِ وَلَا تُصَلُّوا عَلَى جَوَادِ الطُّرُقِ وَلَا تَنْزِلُوا عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِوَالسِّبَاعِ وَلَا تَقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا الْحَوَائِجَ فَإِنَّهَا الْمَلَاعِنُ

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۔»

دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَيْكُمْ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ «قَدْ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ»

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَلَا لَهُ إِسْنَادٌ إِلَّا هَذَا الْإِسْنَادَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لا يُعْطِي عَلَى العنف

[AI] "Indeed, Allah gives through gentleness what He does not give through forcefulness."

«إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah grants through gentleness what He does not grant through harshness, and whenever Allah loves a servant, He grants him gentleness. No household has been deprived of gentleness except that they have been deprived of all good."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْخُرْقِ وَإِذَا أَحَبَّ اللهُ عَبْدًا أَعْطَاهُ الرِّفْقَ مَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يُحْرَمُونَ الرِّفْقَ إِلَّا قَدْ حُرِمُوا»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no contagious disease except for Allah and His Messenger."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no fever except for Allah and His Messenger."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ»

[AI] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah ﷻ hates for you all forms of unnecessary speech."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ كَرِهَ لَكُمِ الْبَيَانَ كُلَّ الْبَيَانِ»

[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Indeed, Allah ﷻ is beautiful and He loves beauty."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ»

[AI] 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

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah loves the skillful."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْتَرِفَ»

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 (Using translation from Aḥmad 902)

قال قال رسول الله ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقُ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ»

(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)

أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَيْكُمْ» فَقُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ

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).' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 6256)

دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ

[AI] A man from the Jews entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "As-Samu Alaykum" (meaning, death be upon you). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Wa Alaykum" (meaning, and upon you). I understood the meaning, so I said, "As-Samu Alaykum" and added, "and curse." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Aisha, be gentle, for Allah loves kindness in all matters." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you not hear what he said to you?" He replied, "I did, and I responded by saying 'and upon you' 10144 times." 'Imran ibn Bakkar narrated to me, he said: Abu Al-Yaman informed us, he said: Shu'ayb narrated to us from Az-Zuhri, who narrated to me from Urwah, who said: A man from the Jews entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned something similar.

دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ «وَعَلَيْكُمْ» فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاللَّعْنَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا عَائِشَةُ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى مَا قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ 10144 أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

'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). (Using translation from Muslim 2593)

ؓ 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
