حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي رَاکِبٌ غَدًا إِلَی الْيَهُودِ فَلَا تَبْدَئُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمُوا عَلَيْکُمْ فَقُولُوا وَعَلَيْکُمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3699
It was narrated from Abu 'Abdur·Rahman Al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allah said: "I am riding to the Jews tomorrow. Do not initiate the greeting with them, and if they greet you, then say: Wa 'alaikum (and also upon you)."
