HADITH OF THE DAY
ALLAH LIKES GENTLENESS
Narrated by Aisha
The Jews used to greet the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) by saying, "As-Samu Alaika" (i.e., death be upon you), so I understood what they said, and I said to them, "As-Samu Alaikum Wal-lana" (i.e. Death and Allah's Curse be upon you).
The Prophet said, "Be gentle and calm, O Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all affairs."
I said, "O Allah's Messenger! Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear me answering them back by saying, Alaikum (i.e., the same be upon you)?"
