I have a question. When I go to the masjid I sometimes see brothers that I recognize and I will greet them with salaam, and then ask how they are doing. Many people just say "alhamdulilah" and nothing else. I grew up non muslim and usually when we ask how someone is, we expect something like good, bad, so-so, and it may lead into a short little discussion.
Today a brother I know asked me if I had prayed the asr prayer and I said yes. He said that if someone asks you if you have prayed, and you have, then instead of saying yes you should say alhamdulilah.
My question is, why do people do this? And is it based on sunnah, or on traditions?
