Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2653 — Greeting disbelievers with salam
اُردوEn
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ : إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى دِهْقَانٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ ، فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he wrote a letter to a dihqan (a non-Muslim Persian landowner) and wrote a salam to him in his letter. He was asked (by way of objection): "Are you writing a salam to him even though he is a disbeliever?" He replied: "He wrote a letter to me in which he greeted me with salam, so I have (in reply) returned his greeting."
[Ibn Abi Shaybah recorded it in al-Musannaf: 26343, and its chain is sahih.]
