Chapter 22 How to return the greeting of Dhimmi
باب كَيْفَ يُرَدُّ عَلَى أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ السَّلاَمُ
Sahih al-Bukhari 6257

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When the Jews greet you, they usually say, ‘As-Samu ‘alaikum (Death be on
you),’ so you should say (in reply to them), ‘Wa’alaikum (And on you).

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏”‏ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَهُودُ فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ‏.‏ فَقُلْ وَعَلَيْكَ ‏”‏‏.‏
