Riyad as-Salihin 856 (Book 5, Hadith 13) #37345
Greetings for the Living and Dead

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us not to say "Alaikas-Salamu" as a greeting, as this is a greeting for the dead.

Abu Juraiy Al-Hujaimi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah and said: "Alaikas-Salamu ya Rasulallah! (Upon you be peace, O Messenger of Allah)!" He said, "Do not say: 'Alaikas-Salamu (Upon you be peace)'. This is the Salam to the dead". Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, who classified the hadith as Hasan Sahih.

QUICK LESSONS:
Use appropriate words when addressing people who have passed away. Live your life according to Islamic teachings.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught us that when we greet someone, we should not use the phrase "Alaikas-Salamu", as this phrase is reserved for those who have passed away. Instead, he instructed us to use other phrases such as "Assalamu Alaikum" or "Peace be upon you". This hadith teaches us to show respect and reverence towards those who have passed away by using appropriate words when addressing them. It also reminds us of our mortality and encourages us to live our lives in accordance with Islamic teachings so that we can attain eternal peace in the hereafter.
