I was informed that it was said to Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him:
السلامُ peace be upon him

السَّلَامُ peace
The 'peace' that completes the honorific 'upon him be peace', the delayed subject of that little blessing-clause. The formula reorders to put 'upon him' first, so this word is the peace being wished, in the subject ending.
قَالَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا رَبَّ مَنْ أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُكَ،
Moses, peace be upon him, said: "O Lord, who destroyed those who are Your people?"
السَّلَامُ peace be upon him
This noun completes the honorific 'peace be upon him', a fixed blessing said after a prophet's name. It is part of a set devotional phrase rather than a working part of the main clause. Read it together with the 'upon him' before it as one formula.
