Hadith 1752
قَالَ يَحْيَى : وَسُئِلَ مَالِك عَمَّنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَى الْيَهُودِيِّ أَوِ النَّصْرَانِيِّ هَلْ يَسْتَقِيلُهُ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If someone greets a Jew or a Christian, that is, says "As-salamu Alaikum" to him, should he then revoke it? He said: No, rather he should repent and seek forgiveness, because he acted against the command.
حَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ " الْيَهُودَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ : السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقُلْ : عَلَيْكَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the Jews greet you, they say 'As-Saam Alaikum' (i.e., death be upon you) instead of 'As-Salaam Alaikum.' You should also reply with 'Alaik' (i.e., the same to you)." (That is, in response, just say 'Alaik,' meaning 'the same to you.')
