Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)فِي الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ بِكَ عَيْنًا
حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نَقُولُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ بِكَ عَيْنًا وَأَنْعِمْ صَبَاحًا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ، نُهِينَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ: أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ بِكَ عَيْنًا، وَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَيْنَكَ .

Saying "an'am Allahu bika 'aynam" (May Allah give you tranquility)
In the pre-Islamic period we used to say: May Allah make the eye happy for you, and Good morning but when Islam came, we were forbidden to say that. Abdur Razzaq said on the authority of Mamar: It is disapproved that a man should say: May Allah make the eye happy for you, but there is no harm in saying: May Allah make your eye happy.
