Abu Dawud · 5209أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقُلْتُ : عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : لَا تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ , فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَوْتَىNarrated Abu Jurayy al-Hujaymi: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Upon you be peace, Messenger of Allah! He said: Do not say: Upon you be peace, for "Upon you be peace" is the salutation to the dead.5 narrators
