Surah Ibrahim (14) — Ayah 23
وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَـٰمٌ ﴿23﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers and whatever they brought) and did righteous deeds, will be made to enter Gardens under which rivers flow, - to dwell therein for ever (i.e. in Paradise), with the Permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: Salâm (peace!).

23. And those who believed and did righteous deeds will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever [28] by the permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be, "Peace" [29].
[28] Here, the mention of the people of Paradise has come in accordance with the same divine practice that wherever the people of Hell are mentioned, a brief mention of the people of Paradise is also made, and wherever there is a detailed mention of the people of Paradise, a brief mention of the people of Hell is also given.
[29] The meaning of "tahiyyah" is a prayer for long life, and here, in the world, when people say "salaam" or "assalamu alaikum" upon meeting each other, it is actually a prayer for peace, safety, and well-being for the addressee. In Paradise, since safety will already exist, the meaning of "salaam" there will be: may this safety be blessed for you.
