5206 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، وَرَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ فِيهِ: «وَعَلَيْكُمْ»
