A group of Jews sought permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Death be upon you."I said, "Rather, upon you be death and the curse."He said, "Ayesha, Allah is gentle and loves gentleness in every matter."I said, "Did you not hear what they said?"He replied, "I said, 'And upon you.'"
استأذن رهط من اليهود على النبي ﷺ فقالوا: السام عليك، فقلت: بل عليكم السام واللعنة، فقال: يا عائشة، إن الله رفيق يحب الرفق في الأمر كله قلت: أو لم تسمع ما قالوا: قال: قلت عليكم.
Bukhari related it in the Chapter on Seeking the Repentance of Apostates (6927) and Muslim in the Chapter on Greetings (2165), both from the hadith of Sufyan bin Uyayna, from Zuhri, from Urwa, from Ayesha, and I have mentioned it. Bukhari also related it (6030) through another route from Ayesha, and in it appears, "Did you not hear what I said? I returned it upon them, so it is answered in their case against me, but it is not answered in my case against them."
