`Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said:
"As-Salamu `Alaikum (may you be safe from evil). Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to his greeting and the
man sat down. The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Ten (meaning the man had earned the merit of ten good acts).''
Another
one came and said: "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (may you be safe from evil, and Mercy of Allah be upon
you).'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
said,
"Twenty.''
A third one came and said: "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (may you be
safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you).'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to
his greeting and the man sat down. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Thirty.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith shows that we can earn ten-fold good rewards by greeting a person in the Islamic way.
There will be a further ten-fold addition to it if we say, "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullah". may you be safe
from evil, and the Mercy of Allah be upon you). And if we say, "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuhu'' may you be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you), thirty-fold good
reward comes to us. But Ahadith are silent on increasing more words to Salam. So this much will suffice.

`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.'

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported the Prophet (PBUH) used to repeat his words thrice so that the
meaning thereof would be fully understood, and whenever he came upon a gathering of people, he would greet
them. He would repeat Salam thrice.
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about one aspect of the Prophet's excellent manners that he would take due care
of showing regard for the sentiments of people. The whole of a gathering is not supposed to hear the Salam of
somebody and respond to him. A single person can represent the gathering in this regard. Yet, it was characteristic
benevolence of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) which prompted him to repeat his saying "As-Salamu `Alaikum''
thrice so that everybody would hear it and may not have a feeling of being neglected.
