أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا أَتَى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا ؟ " قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، سَلَّمَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، رُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ " ، فَرَدُّوهُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتَ : السَّامُّ عَلَيْكُمْ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ ، فَقُولُوا : عَلَيْكَ ، قَالَ : عَلَيْكَ مَا قُلْتَ ، قَالَ : وَإِذَا جَاءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ سورة المجادلة آية 8 " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Anas bin Malik narrated that:` A Jew came to the Prophet of Allah and his Companions and said: “As-Samu Alaikum (Death be upon you).” So the people replied to him. The Prophet of Allah said: “Do you know what this person said?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know better – he said the Salam – O Allah’s Prophet.” He said: “No, rather he said like this and that. Bring him back for e=me.” So they brought him back and he said: “Did you say As-Samu Alaikum? He said: “Yes.” So with that Allah’s Prophet said: “When one of the People of the Book gives you the Salam, then say: “Alaika Ma Qulta (Whatever you said to you too).” He said: ‘And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not.’
