حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: مَا حَسَدَكُمُ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مَا حَسَدُوكُمْ عَلَى السَّلامِ وَالتَّأْمِينِ.
'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The Jews do not envy you for anything the way
that they envy you for the salam and the Amin."
'Umar said, "I was riding behind Abu Bakr and he passed by some
people. He said, 'Peace be upon you.' They said, 'Peace be upon you and
the mercy of Allah.' He said, 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.'
They said, 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.'
Abu Bakr said, 'Today the people have been very much better than us.'"
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "As-Salam (peace) is one of the Names
of Allah Almighty which Allah has placed in the earth. Therefore give the
greeting among yourselves."
Abu Hurayra reported that a man passed by the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while hew as in an assembly and
said, "Peace be upon you." "Ten good deeds," he said. Another man passed
by and said, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." The Prophet said,
"Twenty good deeds." Then yet another man passed by and said, "Peace be
upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessing," and the Prophet said,
"Thirty good deeds." Then a man in the gathering got up and did not give
the greeting. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "How quickly your companion forgets! When one of you comes
to an assembly, he should give the greeting. If he thinks he should sit
down, he sits down. When he stands up, he gives the greeting. Neither is
a greater duty than the other."
