Sahih al-Bukhari 6926

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A Jew passed by Prophet ﷺ and said, "As-Samu 'Alaika." Allah's Apostle ﷺ said in reply, "We 'Alaika.". Prophet ﷺ then said to his companions, "Do you know what he (the Jew) has said? He said, 'As-Samu 'Alaika.'" They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we kill him?" The Prophet, said, "No. When the people of the Book greet you, say: 'Wa 'Alaikum.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ مَرَّ يَهُودِيٌّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " وَعَلَيْكَ ". فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " أَتَدْرُونَ مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ " لاَ، إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ ".
