Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #464
Compassion
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا: السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَفَهِمْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ: عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: قَدْ قُلْتُ: وَعَلَيْكُمْ.
'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "A group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Poison ('sam' instead of 'salam')
be upon you." 'A'isha said, "I understood it and said, 'And poison be upon
you and the curse of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, 'Easy, 'A'isha! Allah loves compassion in everything.'
I said, 'Didn't you hear what they said?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, replied, 'I already said, "and upon you".'"
