2937. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Tufail bin 'Amr Ad-Dausī and his companions came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The people of the tribe of Daus disobeyed and refused to follow you; so invoke Allāh against them." The people said, "The tribe of Daus is ruined." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allāh! Give guidance to the people of Daus, and let them embrace Islām."
2937 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قَدِمَ طُفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيُّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ دَوْسًا عَصَتْ وَأَبَتْ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقِيلَ: هَلَكَتْ دَوْسٌ، قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ دَوْسًا وَأْتِ بِهِمْ»

(1) (H. 2935) There is great similarity between the pronunciations of the Arabic words meaning "peace" and "death". The first is "As-Salāmu" and the second is "As-Sāmu". The Jews, instead of saying "As-Salāmu 'Alaikum" said, "As-Sāmu 'Alaikum", intending to invoke evil upon the Prophet ﷺ rather than to greet him, but the Prophet ﷺ noticed what they had said and invoked evil upon them in his turn. They were the losers, for Allāh would accept the Prophet's invocation and reject theirs.
