• فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسِلْمِ أَمَّا إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَكَ وَهُوَ كَذُوبٌ،

  The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Know that he has indeed told you the truth, yet he is a liar.

  وَسِلْمِ — and grant him peace. This closes the set blessing with a verb of granting peace; the wa- normally beginning it ties this half to the blessing half so the two read as one fixed phrase, not a fresh 'and'. The spelling here is a variant of the usual peace-formula, but its job is the same conventional ending.
