حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا و قَالَ الْآخَرَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَقِيَ نَاسٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلًا فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ فَأَخَذُوهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا تِلْکَ الْغُنَيْمَةَ فَنَزَلَتْ وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَی إِلَيْکُمْ السَّلَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا وَقَرَأَهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ السَّلَامَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7548
Ibn Abbas reported that some Muslims met a person with a small flock of sheep. He said: As-Salam-o-'Alaikum. They caught hold of him and killed him and took possession of his flock. Then this verse was revealed: He who meets you and extends you salutations, don't say: You are not a Muslim (iv. 94). Ibn 'Abbas, however, recited the word as-Salam instead of as-Salam .
