Sunan Ibn Majah 3699 (Book 33, Hadith 43) #33053
Responding to Jewish Greetings

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed his followers not to initiate the greeting with Jews, but if they greet them, then respond with "Wa 'alaikum".

It was narrated from Abu 'Abdur-Rahman Al Juhani that the Messenger of Allah said: "I am riding to the Jews tomorrow. Do not initiate the greeting with them, and if they greet you, then say: Wa 'alaikum (and also upon you)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي رَاكِبٌ غَدًا إِلَى الْيَهُودِ فَلاَ تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمُوا عَلَيْكُمْ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْكُمْ
