What is the manner of returning the greeting in this hadith (Gabriel came to me and said, "Indeed, Allah sends you His peace")?

The questioner : In the hadith itself, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So how is the return here in the case of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? There is no one now who says, "Indeed, Allah sends you His peace," so how does he (peace and blessings be upon him) return it? Or when he said to Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), is the answer known, or is it left unmentioned?

The Shaykh : No, the answer is known, but we will clarify the answer for you: Is it obligatory to return every greeting?

The questioner : For us, yes.

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Peace be upon you. We return the peace upon you.

The Shaykh : No, not always.

The questioner : It is possible in prayer by gesture.

The Shaykh : No, this is not a return.

The questioner : A gesture.

The Shaykh : A gesture.

The questioner : Do you call a gesture a return?

The Shaykh : No, except figuratively .

The questioner : .

The Shaykh, the return is saying "Peace be upon you" when you are greeted with "Peace be upon you." As for returning by gesture, this is a legislative provision to compensate for what the praying person misses of the returning of the greeting that is commanded by the Noble Qur'an. In any case, your question is valid regarding human relations between people, but regarding the Lord of the Worlds, it is completely different. This question reminds me that in the early days of Islam, they used to say in the tashahhud, "Peace be upon Allah, peace be upon Gabriel, peace be upon Michael," so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and so on. I think I have clarified my answer: this is a specific ruling between Allah and His Prophet, and we do not know whether there is an answer or not?
