Why saying "Salamun 'alayka" when concluding the prayer is not sufficient
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We used to say that saying "Salamun 'alaykum" is sufficient, but it goes against the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : But the Sunnah is to use the singular form.
The questioner : Yes, and I said, "Shaykh, 'Salamun 'alayka' is not sufficient, because of the hadith of A'ishahSahih Muslim 1718b So the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was reported..."
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : Other than that, I am a young person, so I say it is a deviation.
The Shaykh : Yes, but there is a difference between them. The second form, "alayka" and "alaykum," shifts the address from multiple people to a single person. But this is regarding the definition of the salam and its singular or plural form, and both this and that have been reported[Adh-Dhariyat 51:25].
The Shaykh : But the Sunnah is to use the singular form.

and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.
