Seeking Permission to Enter (Someone's House) and Manners Relating to It
وَعَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ علي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ، فَقَالَ: أألج؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِخَادِمِهِ: "أخرج إلي هَذَا وعلمه الاِسْتِئْذَانَ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: قُلِ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟” فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَخَلَ. ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيح)).
Rib'i bin Hirash (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man of Banu 'Amir tribe has told us that he had asked the Prophet (ﷺ) for permission to enter when he was at home. He said: "May I enter?" the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to the servant, "Go out and instruct him about the manner of seeking permission. Tell him to say: As-Salamu 'Alaikum (may peace be upon you). May I come in?" The man heard this and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum (may peace be upon you). May I come in?" The Prophet (ﷺ) then granted him permission and he entered. [Abu Dawud].
