Sayyiduna Imran ibn Husayn رضى الله عنه narrated that a man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, 'As salaamu alaykum!' He gave the response to it. The man sat down and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Ten!" Then another man came and said, "As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah." He gave the response and the man sat down. He said, "Twenty!" Then another man came and said, "As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah; wa barakatuh." He gave the response and the man sat down and he said, "Thirty!" [1] [assalaamu alaykum: peace be on you! Wa rahmatullah; and Allah's mercy! Wa barakatuh; and His blessings!]
