"From 'Ali, who said: Jibril, peace be upon him, descended upon the Prophet ﷺ to teach him the greeting of peace to the people and the prayer over the deceased. He said: O Muhammad, indeed Allah ﷻ has enjoined the prayer upon His servants, five prayers in every day and night. If a man becomes ill and cannot pray, then he prays sitting. When he is too weak for that, his guardian comes and says to him: Say takbir for the time of each prayer, five takbirs. When he dies, his guardian prays over him and says five takbirs over him. So he would say a takbir for each prayer until his prayer for the day and night was complete. Then he went out with him to teach him the greeting of peace to the people. He passed by gatherings with him, and he would say to him: O Muhammad, say: Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. When he said it, they would say: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. He said: O Muhammad, they have surpassed us in the best blessing. When they said: And upon you be peace. He said: O Muhammad, do not return it to him. On the second day, he met him and greeted him with peace. Jibril said to him: Do not return it to him. On the third day, he met him and greeted the Prophet ﷺ with peace, and Jibril said to him: Return the greeting. He turned to Jibril and said: You ordered me on the two days not to return it to him, and now you order me to return it! He said: Yes, O Muhammad. Indeed, a severe fever struck him this night, and he woke up with his sins expiated, so I ordered you to return the greeting to him."
