2701. Āishah narrated that a group of Jews entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and they said: "As-Sāmu 'Alaik" (death be upon you). So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Wa 'Alaik And upon you." So Āishah said: "I said: [Rather] upon you be death and the curse." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "O Āishah! Indeed Allāh loves gentleness in every matter." Āishah said: "Did you not hear what they said?" He said: "And I replied: 'And upon you.'"[1] (Sāhīh) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Baṣrah Al-Ghifārī, Ibn 'Umar, Anas and Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Juḥanī. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Āishah is a Ḥasan Sāhīh Hadīth.

٢٧٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «إِنَّ رَهْطًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: السَّامُ» عَلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: عَلَيْكُمْ. فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ: قَدْ قُلْتُ: عَلَيْكُمْ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَنَسٍ، وَأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ. حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

When the people of the Book would say Salām to the Prophet they would say 'Sām' in stead Salām. So he would respond with 'Alaikum' [upon you] or he said: 'Wa Alaikum' [and upon you].
