English translation

2692. Abū Hurairah narrated: "A man entered the Masjid and performed Ṣalāt while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sitting at the back of the Masjid. Then he came to greet him, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you); go back and pray for indeed you have not prayed.'" And he mentioned the Hadīth in its entirety. (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan. Yahya bin Sa'eed Al-Qaṭṭān reported this Hadīth from 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Umar from Sa'eed Al-Maqburī. So he said: "From his father, from Abū Hurairah." [And he did not mention, "to greet him" in it and he said: 'And upon you.'] The narration of Yahyā bin Sa'eed is more correct.

٢٦٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ» الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَعَلَيْكَ ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، وَرَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ هَذَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، فَقَالَ: عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: وَعَلَيْكَ. وَحَدِيثُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَصَحُّ.

Commentary

The version of Al-Bukhārī and Muslim is 'Wa 'Alaikas-Salām' which tells that the reply to salutation begins with 'Wa' (and). Saying Salām is Sunnah and answering it is compulsory.
