حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَحَدِ بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ
إِنَّهُ أَتَى الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَصْنَعُونَ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا: هَذَا كَانَ تَحِيَّةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلَنَا. فَقُلْتُ: نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَصْنَعَ هَذَا بِنَبِيِّنَا ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبْدَلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

✧ He went to Syria and saw the Christians, and he mentioned its meaning, except that he said: I said: For what reason do you do this? They said: This was the greeting of the prophets before us. I said: Are we more deserving of doing this for our Prophet? Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: They lied about their prophets just as they distorted their scripture. Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has replaced for us something better than that: the salutation of peace, the greeting of the people of Paradise.
