Narrated `Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) A group of Jews entered upon the Prophet and said, As-Samu-Alaikum. (i.e. death be upon you). I understood it and said, Wa-Alaikum As-Samu wal-la'n. (death and the curse of Allah be Upon you). Allah's Apostle said Be calm, O `Aisha! Allah loves that on, should be kind and lenient in all matters. I said, O Allah's Apostle! Haven't you heard what they (the Jews) have said? Allah's Apostle said I have (already) said (to them) And upon you !
