Allah Loves Gentleness
اسْتَأْذَنَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ. فَقُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ. فَقَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ. قُلْتُ: أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ

Ista'dhana rahtun minal-Yahūdi 'alan-Nabiyyi ﷺ faqālūs-Sāmu 'alaik. Faqultu bal 'alaykumus-sāmu wal-la'nah. Faqāla: Yā 'Ā'isha, innallāha rafīqun yuhibbur-rifqa fil-amri kullihi. Qultu: Awa lam tasma' mā qālū? Qāla: Qultu wa 'alaykum
Translation
Narrated 'Aisha: A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) and when they were admitted they said, 'As-Samu 'Alaika (death be upon you).' I said (to them), 'But death and the curse of Allah be upon you!' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O 'Aisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.' I said, 'Haven't you heard what they said?' He said, 'I said (to them), Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you).'
