847/1107 (حسن) عن ابن عباس قال:"ردوا السلام على من كان يهوديا، او نصرانيا، او مجوسيا؛ ذلك بان الله يقول:? وإذا حييتم بتحية فحيوا باحسن منها او ردوها? [النساء: 86]".
847/1107 (Hasan) from Ibn Abbas who said: "Return the greeting of peace to whoever it may be, whether he is a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian; that is because Allah says: ?And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or at least return it? [النساء: 86] ."

From Muhammad, the servant of Allah and His Messenger, to Heraclius, the chief of the Romans. Peace be upon those who follow the guidance. To proceed; I invite you with the call of Islam. Submit and you will be safe; Allah will grant you your reward twice; but if you turn away, then upon you is the sin of the Arians. And: O People of the Book, come to a word that is just between us and you... to His saying: bear witness that we are Muslims [آل عمران: 64] ."
