وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا
أَنَّ يَهُودًا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَعَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَعَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ، وَغَضِبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، قَالَ: مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ، عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ، وَإِيَّاكِ وَالْعُنْفَ وَالْفُحْشَ، قَالَتْ: أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟
قَالَ: أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قُلْتُ؟ رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيُسْتَجَابُ لِي فِيهِمْ، وَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيَّ
Aishah reported that some Jews came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, “Poison (‘sam’ instead
of ‘salam’) be upon you.”
Aishah said, “And upon you and may the
curse of Allah and the anger of Allah be upon you!” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Easy,
Aishah, you must be gentle. Beware of harshness and coarseness.”
She asked,
“Didn’t you hear what they said?” He said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?
I repeated it to them and what I said about them will be accepted and what
they said about me will not be accepted.”
