5207. It was narrated from Anas, that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said to the Prophet ﷺ: "The people of the Book greet us with Salām; how should we respond to them?" He said: ["Say: 'Wa 'alaikum (and also upon you).'""] (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: And it was reported like that from 'Āishah, Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Juhnī, and Abū Baṣrah, meaning Al-Ghifārī.

Arabic text

5207 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْنَا فَكَيْفَ نَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ: «قُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ عَائِشَةَ، وَأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ، وَأَبِي بَصْرَةَ يَعْنِي الْغِفَارِيَّ
