Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا مَرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْكَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ قَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا أَلَا نَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ.
English Translation
Rawh told us: Shu'ba told us: Hisham ibn Zayd ibn Anas ibn Malik told us, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik narrate that a Jew passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: As-samu alayka (death be upon you). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: And upon you. Do you know what he said? He said: As-samu alaykum. They said: Shall we not kill him? He said: No, but when the People of the Book greet you, say, And upon you.
