Majma al-Zawaid 12793 — Greeting the people of the covenant

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " .
قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا اسْتِئْذَانَ عُمَرَ فِي قَتْلِهِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the People of the Book came and greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "As-samu alaykum (Death be upon you)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not strike off his neck?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the Sahih, but it does not contain the mention that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to kill him.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
