5209. It was narrated that Abū Jurayy Al-Hujaimī said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and said: 'Alaikas-salām (upon you be peace) O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Do not say 'Alaikas-salām, for 'Alaikas-salām is the greeting of the dead.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

5209 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ أَبِي غِفَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جُرَيٍّ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «لَا تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَوْتَى»
