The Etiquette of Asking Permission

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of asking permission before entering someone's house.

Narrated Rib'i: A man of Banu Amir told that he asked the Prophet for permission (to enter the house) when he was in the house, saying: May I enter ? The Prophet said to his servant: Go out to this (man) and teach him how to ask permission to enter the house, and say to him: "Say : Peace be upon you. May I enter?" The man heard it and said: Peace be upon you! May I enter ? The Prophet permitted him and he entered.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ فَقَالَ أَلِجُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لِخَادِمِهِ ‏ "‏ اخْرُجْ إِلَى هَذَا فَعَلِّمْهُ الاِسْتِئْذَانَ فَقُلْ لَهُ قُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَأَدْخُلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَأَدْخُلُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَدَخَلَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of asking permission before entering someone's house. It was narrated by Rib'i, who told a story about a man from Banu Amir who asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for permission to enter his house. The Prophet ﷺ then instructed his servant to teach the man how to ask for permission properly, which was by saying "Peace be upon you. May I enter?". After hearing this, the man said "Peace be upon you! May I enter?" and was granted entry into the house. This hadith teaches us that it is important to show respect and politeness when asking for something from another person, especially when it comes to entering their home or private space. We should always remember that we must ask politely and wait patiently until we are given permission before entering any place or engaging in any activity with another person.
