وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ هُوَ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

« مَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَجُوسِيًّا، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، أَوْ رُدُّوهَا عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِ

✧ «Whoever greets you from God's creation, return it to him even if he is a Magian, for God the Exalted says: 'When you are greeted with a greeting, greet with better than it'—that is for the people of Islam—'or return it'—that is upon the polytheist.»
