Is Saying Alsalaam U Alaykum Right?
I have heard an argument that the quran never says السلام عليكم but just سلام عليك so why does the sunnah refer to the former?
Alsalaam and salaamun is different, one is ma’rifah and one is nakirah. But that’s not the point. The point is if this phrase was used in the Quran to desvribe what the sahabah say why isn’t the sunnah exactly the same?
السلام is actually one of the names of Allah, just like الرحمن، الرحيم etc. If you say سلام عليكم it means peace be upon you. Since السلام is name of Allah, it shouldn’t be used. Is this what Br. Shuaib is asking?
Yes, attribute of Allah. It’s His sifati name. When we say this sifati name, we are referring to Allah. Don’t we call upon Allah using his sifati names? Like ya Rahman, Ya Ghaffar, ya salaam etc?
