Question
ِAssalamu Alaikum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu. May Allah عز وجل preserve you and reward you for all your efforts Ustadh. My question is about the response to السلام عليكم و رحمة الله وبركاته with the addition of Maghfira where a person says وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته ومغفرته . I’ve seen some Kalam from Shaykh Albani رحمه الله in regards to this where he mentioned some narrations that he graded as Sahih for this addition. I've also seen some other Ulemah criticizing this narration and addition. Can you please benefit us regarding this and explain if it is authentic or not. جزاكم الله خيرا يا شيخ و بارك الله فيك
