حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِسْطَامٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ قُرَّةَ قَالَ

قَالَ لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا مَرَّ بِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلاَ تَقُلْ وَعَلَيْكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَخُصُّهُ بِذَلِكَ وَحْدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ وَحْدَهُ وَلَكِنْ قُلِ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

Translation

✧ My father said to me: “O my son, if a man passes by you and says, ‘Peace be upon you,’ do not say, ‘And upon you,’ as if you are singling him out alone, for he is not alone. Rather, say: ‘Peace be upon you.’”
