Responding to People of Other Faiths

Anas said: The Companions of the prophet said to the prophet : The people of the Book salute us. How should we reply to them? He said: say : the same to you.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ، قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْنَا فَكَيْفَ نَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ وَأَبِي بَصْرَةَ يَعْنِي الْغِفَارِيَّ

This hadith encourages us to be polite and courteous when responding to people from other religions. We should greet them with the same salutations they give us and reply in kind words. This shows that we value their beliefs and respect their faith even though it may differ from ours.
