Riyad as-Salihin - On the Excellence of the Greeting and the command to make it common practice Hadith

Chapter: On the form of the
greeting

 

851. 'Imran ibn al-Husayn said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and said, 'Peace be upon you.' He responded to him and
then the man sat down. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Ten.' Then another man came and said, 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of
Allah,' and he responded to him and the man sat down. He said, 'Twenty.' Then
yet another man came and said, 'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His
blessings,' and he responded to him and that man sat down. He said, 'Thirty.'"
[Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

852. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'This is Jibril come to recite the greeting to you.' I said, 'And
upon him be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.'" [Agreed upon]

That is how it occurs in some sound riwayas. The addition of "and His
blessings" which is elided in some of them is acceptable.

853. Anas reported that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to say something, he would repeat it three times so that it would be
understood. When he came to a people, he would greet them three times."
[al-Bukhari]

854. Al-Miqdad said in his long hadith, "We used to take the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, his share of milk, and it was brought in
the night and the greeting was given in such a way that it would not wake up
anyone asleep but could be heard by someone who was awake.' The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, came and gave the greeting in the same way
he had been greeted." [Muslim]

855. Asma' bint Yazid reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, passed by the mosque one day when a group of women were
sitting there and he greeted them by gesturing with his hand." [at-Tirmidhi]

856. Abu Jurayy al-Hujaymi said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'On you be peace, Messenger of Allah,'
twice. He said, 'Do not say, "On you be peace." "On you be peace" is the
greeting to the dead.'" [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]
