Making Salaam to the Angels – Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam) – Part Seven
After Allah Ta‘ala created Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam) and blew the rooh (soul) into him, Allah Ta‘ala said to him, “O Aadam! Go to that group of angels and greet them with salaam saying, ‘Assalaamu Alaikum.’ and thereafter listen to the reply that they give you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your progeny.”
Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam) thus went to the angels and greeted them saying, “Assalaamu Alaikum.” Hearing the salaam, the angels replied saying, “Assalaamu Alaika Warahmatullah.” In other words, when the angels replied to the salaam of Nabi Aadam (‘alaihis salaam), they added the words “Warahmatullah”. (Saheeh Bukhaari #6227 and Sunan Tirmizi #3368)
