(Book 53, Hadith 5) #36806
Praising Allah in Response to Greetings

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab asked a man how he was and the man replied with a phrase praising Allah. Umar was pleased with this response.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Anas ibn Malik heard Umar ibn al-Khattab return the greeting of a man who greeted him. Then Umar asked the man, "How are you?" He said, "I praise Allah to you". (Ahmadu ilayka Allah) Umar said, "That is what I wanted from you".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَسَلَّمَ، عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عُمَرُ الرَّجُلَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللَّهَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ
