Chapter. As-Salam is one of the Names of Allah: (Allah’s Statement): "When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally..." (V.4:86)
Narrated `Abdullah: When we prayed with the Prophet we used to say: As-Salam be on Allah from His worshipers, As- Salam be on Gabriel, As-Salam be on Michael, As-Salam be on so-and-so. When the Prophet finished his prayer, he faced us and said, "Allah Himself is As-Salam (Peace), so when one sits in the prayer, one should say, 'at-Tahiyatu-li l-lahi Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika aiyuhan- Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-iahi wa Barakatuhu, As-Salamu 'Alaina wa 'ala 'Ibadillahi assalihin, for if he says so, then it will be for all the pious slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth. (Then he should say), 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illalllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa rasulu-hu,' and then he can choose whatever speech (i.e. invocation) he wishes " (See Hadith No. 797, Vol. 1).
And Allah the Exalted said (in Surah An-Nisa) «وإذا حييتم بتحية فحيوا بأحسن منها أو ردوها»: "And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with one better than it or return it (in like manner)."
