Question:
Some people, when the salam is said to them, say: "May the prayer and peace be upon him and upon the Messenger of Allah"?
Answer:
We have not heard of this, and we do not know any basis for it. One only says the salam to the one who said it to him, saying: "And upon you and upon so-and-so be peace," and that is sufficient, or "Upon so-and-so be peace."
