Closing Doors and Awareness

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching a lesson on the importance of closing doors and being aware of who is around.

Narrated Nafi' ibn AbdulHarith: I went out with the (Messenger of Allah until I entered a garden, he said: Keep on closing the door. The door was then closed. I then said: Who is there ? He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said: That is to say, the tradition of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari. In this version he said: "He then knocked at the door".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، - يَعْنِي الْمَقَابِرِيَّ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا فَقَالَ لِي ‏"‏ أَمْسِكِ الْبَابَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَضُرِبَ الْبَابُ فَقُلْتُ ‏"‏ مَنْ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيَّ قَالَ فِيهِ فَدَقَّ الْبَابَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and taking precautions when necessary. In this case, it was important for the Prophet Muhammad to close the door before entering a garden. He also taught that it is important to be aware of who is around by asking "Who is there?" before entering any place. This teaches us that we should always be mindful and take precautions in order to protect ourselves from harm or danger. It also shows us that we should always be respectful when entering someone else's space or property, as well as our own.

The Prophet Muhammad was not only teaching us about safety but also about respect for others and their property. By knocking on the door before entering, he showed respect for whoever may have been inside by letting them know someone was coming in first rather than just barging in without warning. This teaches us an important lesson on respecting other people's privacy as well as our own safety by taking precautionary measures such as closing doors behind us or knocking before entering a room or area where someone else may already be present.
