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."
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."
Ibn Mas'ud said, " They were doing the prayer with the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and someone said, 'Peace be upon
Allah.' When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished
the prayer, he said, 'Who said "Peace be upon Allah"? Allah is Peace. Rather
say, "Greetings belong to Allah and good words and prayers. Peace be upon
you, O Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon
us and upon all the right-acting slaves of Allah. I testify that there
is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger."'"
'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.'"
