Sunan Abu Dawud 5195 — How to greet others with salam
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ , أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ , عَنْ عَوْفٍ , عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ , عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ , قَالَ : " جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ , فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ , ثُمَّ جَلَسَ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : عَشْرٌ , ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ , فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ , فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ , فَجَلَسَ , فَقَالَ : عِشْرُونَ , ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ , فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ , فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ , فَجَلَسَ , فَقَالَ : ثَلَاثُونَ " .
Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Peace be upon you! He responded to his salutation. He then sat down. The Prophet ﷺ said: Ten. Another man came and said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! He responded to his salutation when he sat down. He said: Twenty. Another man came and said: Peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you! He responded to him and said when he sat down: and blessings be upon you! He responded to him and said when he sat down: Thirty.
