English translation

6395. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: The Jews used to greet the Prophet ﷺ by saying, "As-Sāmu 'alaika (i.e., death be upon you)," so I understood what they said, and I said to them, 'Alaikumus-sāmu wal-la'natu (i.e., death and Allāh's Curse be upon you)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Be gentle and calm, O 'Āishah, as Allāh likes gentleness in all affairs." I said, "O Allāh's Prophet! Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear me answering them back by saying, 'Alaikum, (i.e., the same be upon you)?"

6395 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَانَ اليَهُودُ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُونَ: السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ، فَفَطِنَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ، فَقَالَتْ: عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» فَقَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ قَالَ: " أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي أَنِّي أَرُدُّ ذَلِكِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكُمْ "
