Al-Eyth ibn abil-Ghasem narrated that when he asked Imam Sadiq (a.s) about how to greet the people of the book in letters, the Imam (a.s) replied
“You write: Greetings to one who follows guidance. And end your letter with: Greetings to the Apostles, and praise is due to the Lord of the two worlds.”
عن العيص بن أبي القاسم قال
سألت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) عن التسليم على أهل الكتاب في الكتاب، قال: تكتب: سلام على من اتبع الهدى، وفي آخره: سلام على المرسلين، والحمد لله رب العالمين.
