Chapter: How to reply to non-Muslims
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1106 — How to reply to non-Muslims
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ: السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ، فَقُولُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of the Jews greets you with Salam, he says: «السام علیک» (death be upon you), so you should also reply with «وعلیک» (death be upon you)."
