Abū Ghifār Al-Muthanna bin Sa'eed Aṭ-Ṭā'ī narrated from Abū Tamīmah Al-Hujaimī from Jābir bin Sulaim who said: "I went to the Prophet ﷺ and I said: "'Alaikas-Salām (upon you be peace)' so he replied: 'Do not say "'Alaikas-Salām" rather say As-Salāmu 'Alaik."

٢٧٢٢ - حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي غِفَارٍ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الطَّائِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ: «أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَقُلْ: عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، وَلَكِنْ قُلِ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ». وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً طَوِيلَةً. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
