It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that some Jews greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: «السام علیکم». The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: “«وعلیکم».” Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) became very angry and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Did you not hear what they said? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Why not, I heard it and I have returned those words upon them. Our supplication against them is accepted, and their supplication against us is not accepted.”
