Arabic text

3698 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالُوا: السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَقَالَ: «وَعَلَيْكُمْ»
