Hadith # 852
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "This is Jibril (Gabriel) who is conveying you greetings of peace." I responded: "Wa 'Alaihis-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (may he be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon him)."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary
This Hadith affirms the excellence of 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with him). It also tells us how to respond to the Salam of a third person, that is, we should say, "Wa 'Alaihis-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.'
