Hadith 988
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”مَا حَسَدَكُمُ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مَا حَسَدُوكُمْ عَلَى السَّلامِ وَالتَّأْمِينِ.“
Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Jews are not as jealous of anything from you as they are of your greeting of Salam and saying Ameen."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In these narrations, further benefits of greeting (salam) have been mentioned. In addition to mutual love, saying salam also increases good deeds.
➋ Saying salam when leaving a gathering is just as necessary as saying salam when entering. This should also be observed with care.
➌ When initiating the greeting, it is permissible to say "as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh," and in response, it is not correct to add anything further from oneself.
➍ The Jews are the greatest ill-wishers of Muslims in the universe. Since both salam and amin are means of forgiveness and pardon for Muslims, it pains them that Muslims become deserving of forgiveness through such a simple act.
