6256. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: A group of Jews came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, “As-Sāmu ‘alaika.” (death be on you),” and I understood it and said to them, “Alaikum As-Sāmu wal-la’natu (death and curse be on you).”(1) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, “Be calm! O ‘Āishah, for Allāh loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.” I said, “O Allāh's Messenger! Haven't you heard what they have said?” Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, “I have (already) said (to them), “Alaikum” (upon you).”

Arabic text

6256 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ، فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ: عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَقَدْ قُلْتُ: وَعَلَيْكُمْ "
