حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ . فَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ " .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar thatAbdullah ibn Umar said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, said, "When a jew greets you, and says 'Deathto you' (as-samu alaykum) say, 'And to you.' "Yahya said,"Malik was asked whether a person who greeted a jew or christian,should apologise for it. He said, 'No'."
