عن عمران بن حصين قال جاء رجل إلى النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال السلام عليكم. فرد عليه السلام ثم جلس فقال النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم: عشر. ثم جاء آخر فقال السلام عليكم ورحمة الله. فرد عليه فجلس فقال: عشرون. ثم جاء آخر فقال السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. فرد عليه فجلس فقال: ثلاثون.( ترمذي 2/98)
Hadhrat Imraan ibn Husain (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that a person once came to meet Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and greeted him with the words: Assalaamu alaikum. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied to the salaam, and the person seated himself in the gathering. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said: He has received ten rewards. Thereafter another person came to meet Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and greeted him with the words: Assalaamu alaikum warahmatullah. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied to the salaam, and the person seated himself in the gathering. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam then said: He has received twenty rewards. Thereafter another person came to meet Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and greeted him with the words: Assalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied to the salaam, and the person seated himself in the gathering. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said: He has received thirty rewards.
