Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who responds to the salam by saying: "And upon you, peace and mercy"?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. "Mercy" means the mercy of Allah, and the added noun may be omitted with the definite article added in its place. So his saying "and mercy" means "and the mercy of Allah." However, it is better for him to use the explicit wording and say, "And upon you, peace and the mercy of Allah." Yes.
