Question:
Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: [Surat al-Nisa: 86]. So, if someone greets you and says, "Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings," how do I add to it?
Answer:
You add: "May Allah reward you with good," "May Allah forgive you," you make a supplication for him, and the like. This is an increase in good: "May Allah bless you," or "May Allah do you good," or the like.
Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it
وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَاAnswer:
You add: "May Allah reward you with good," "May Allah forgive you," you make a supplication for him, and the like. This is an increase in good: "May Allah bless you," or "May Allah do you good," or the like.
