Greeting with As-Salamu Alaik

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught Jabir bin Sulaim to say "As-Salamu Alaik" instead of "Alaikas-Salam".

Narrated Abu Ghifar Al-Muthanna bin Sa'eed At-Ta'i: from Abu Tamimah al-Hujaimi from Jabir bin Sulaim who said: "I went to the Prophet and I said: ''Alaikas-Salam (upon you be peace)' so he replied: 'Do not say "'Alaikas-Salam" rather say As-Salamu Alaik'." And he mentioned the story in its entirety.
حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي غِفَارٍ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَلَكِنْ قُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً طَوِيلَةً وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of greeting people with respect and kindness.

It is important for us to remember that we should always greet people with respect and kindness no matter who they are or where they come from. We should also remember that our words have power and can make a difference in how we interact with others. By using kind words when we greet each other, we can create an atmosphere of peace and understanding between us all.
