وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍۢ فَحَيُّوا۟ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَآ أَوْ رُدُّوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَسِيبًا
اور جب تم کو کوئی دعا دے تو (جواب میں) تم اس سے بہتر (کلمے) سے (اسے) دعا دو یا انہیں لفظوں سے دعا دو بےشک خدا ہر چیز کا حساب لینے والا ہے
When ye are greeted with a greeting, greet ye with a better than it or return it. Lo! Allah taketh count of all things.
