Musnad Ahmad 13193 — Musnad of Anas ibn Malik
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ، يَقُولُ : 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 ، إِذَا سَلَّمُوا عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَقُولُوا : وَعَلَيْكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man from the People of the Book came to the court of the Prophet and, greeting the Prophet (peace be upon him), said, "As-Saam Alaikum." Hearing this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Shall I not strike off his neck?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, but when the People of the Book greet you, you should only reply with 'Wa Alaikum.'"
