حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ بَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْكَ قَالَتْ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْكَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَغَضَبُ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ أَتُحَيُّونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّهِ بِهِ اللَّهُ قَالَتْ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ مَهْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ قَالُوا قَوْلًا فَرَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَضُرَّنَا شَيْءٌ وَلَزِمَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَحْسُدُونَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ كَمَا يَحْسُدُونَا عَلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهَا وَضَلُّوا عَنْهَا وَعَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ الَّتِي هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهَا وَضَلُّوا عَنْهَا وَعَلَى قَوْلِنَا خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ آمِينَ.
English Translation
Ali ibn Asim narrated to us, from Husayn ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Umar ibn Qays, from Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath, from A'ishah, who said: "While I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, a man from among the Jews sought permission [to enter], and he was permitted. He said: 'al-Samu alayka' [death be upon you].' The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Wa alayka' [and upon you].'" She said: "I was about to speak." She said: "Then he entered a second time and said the same, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Wa alayka.'" She said: "Then he entered a third time and said: 'al-Samu alayka.'" She said: "So I said: 'Rather, death be upon you and the curse of Allah, brothers of monkeys and pigs! Do you greet the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with a greeting Allah did not greet him with?'" She said: "He looked at me and said: 'Enough! Indeed Allah does not love obscenity nor indecency. They said something, and we returned it upon them, and nothing harmed us, and it remains upon them until the Day of Resurrection. They do not envy us for anything as they envy us for the day of Friday, to which Allah guided us while they went astray from it, and for the qiblah, to which Allah guided us while they went astray from it, and for our saying "Amin" behind the imam.'"
