Allah says [When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally. Certainly, Allah is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things.] 4:86
قال الله تعالى (وَإِذَا حُيِّيْتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيباً.) آية 86 سورة النساء
The meaning, if the Muslim greets you with the Salam, then return the greeting with a better Salam, or at least equal to the Salam that was given. Therefore, the better Salam is recommended, while returning it equally is an obligation.
Narrated by Omran bin Husayn said that a man came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "As-Salamu Alaykum''. The Prophet returned the greeting, and after the man sat down he said, "Ten.'' Another man came and said, "As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah, O Allah's Messenger.'' The Prophet returned the greeting, and after the man sat down he said, "Twenty.'' Then another man came and said, "As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu-Allah wa Barakatuh.'' The Prophet returned the greeting, and after the man sat down he said, "Thirty.''
Narrated Abu Dawud. At-Tirmizi, An-Nasa'i.
عن عمران بن حصين قال جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال "السلام عليكم"، فرد عليه السلام ثم جلس فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "عشر"، ثم جاء آخر فقال "السلام عليكم ورحمة الله" فرد عليه فجلس فقال"عشرون" ثم جاء آخر فقال "السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته" فرد عليه فجلس فقال "ثلاثون"
أبو داود، النسائي والترمذي.
Shall we spread Salam among us?
It's for sake of Allah. And for gaining Allah's love and His messenger?
AsSalaamuAlaykum, MASHALLAH,
May ALLAH reward you, Ameen.
JAZAKALLAH KHAIR.
