وَ سَأَلَ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلنِّسَاءِ كَيْفَ يُسَلِّمْنَ إِذَا دَخَلْنَ عَلَى اَلْقَوْمِ قَالَ "اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ اَلرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ".
Ammar Al-Sabati asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about how women should greet when they enter upon a group of people. Imam عليه السلام replied: "A woman should say, 'Peace be upon you (ʿAlaykum al-Salam),' and a man should say, 'Peace be upon you all (Al-Salam ʿAlaykum).'"
