اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْ وَعَلَيْكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَهُودُ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the Jews greet you, they say "As-Saam Alaikum" (death be upon you) instead of "As-Salaam Alaikum" (peace be upon you), so you should also reply with "Wa Alaikum" (and upon you).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of "as-samu ‘alaykum" is: may destruction and death befall you.
