دَخَلَ يَهُودِيٌّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَائِشَةُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا رَدَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَمَا رَدَّ عَلَى صَاحِبَيْهِ فَغَضِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَ الْغَضَبُ وَ اللَّعْنَةُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ يَا إِخْوَةَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَ الْخَنَازِيرِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ الْفُحْشَ لَوْ كَانَ مُمَثَّلًا لَكَانَ مِثَالَ سَوْءٍ إِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يُوضَعْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَ لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهُ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ بَلَى أَ مَا سَمِعْتِ مَا رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مُسْلِمٌ فَقُولُوا سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَافِرٌ فَقُولُوا عَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from IbnAzina, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A Jew came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and Ayesha was in his<sup>saww</sup> presence. So he said, ‘<span class="iTxt">Al-Saam Alaykum</span>!’ (The poison be upon you). So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Upon you (as well)’. Then another (Jew) came over and said similar to that. So he<sup>saww</sup> replied to him just as he<sup>saww</sup> has replied upon his companion. Then another came over, and he said similar to that’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> replied just as he<sup>saww</sup> had replied upon his two companions. So Ayesha got angered and she said, ‘And upon you be the posion, and the Wrath, and the Curse, O community of the Jews, O brethren of the monkeys and the pigs!’. So Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said to her: ‘O Ayesha! If there was a resemblance of the obscenity, it would have been an evil resemblance. The kindness is not placed upon anything at all except that it would adorn it, and it would not be raised from it at all except that it would dishonour it’. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>! Did you<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> not listen to their speech, ‘The poison be upon you!?’ So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘Yes, I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> did. But, did you not listen to what I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> replied upon them? I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘Upon you (as well)’. So, whenever a Muslim greets upon you, so be saying, ‘<span class="iTxt">Salaam Alaykum</span>’, and when a disbeliever greets upon you, so be saying, ‘<span class="iTxt">Alayka</span>’ (the same Upon you)’.
