La Sunnah

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "As-salamu alaykum." He returned the greeting and the man sat. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ten." Then another came and said, "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah," and he said, "Twenty." Then another came and said, "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh," and he said, "Thirty," (each gaining that many rewards).

La Science

Allah commands in the Qur’an to answer a greeting with a better one or at least its equal. Adding more to the reply multiplies both the warmth shown and the reward earned.
