Sahih al-Bukhari 280 (Book 5, Hadith 32) #279
Visiting the Prophet (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was taking a bath while Fatima was screening him, and Um Hani bint Abi Talib came to visit him.

Narrated Um Hani bint Abi Talib: I went to Allah's Messenger in the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath while Fatima was screening him. The Prophet asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "I am Um-Hani".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، تَقُولُ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَغْتَسِلُ وَفَاطِمَةُ تَسْتُرُهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ هَذِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا أُمُّ هَانِئٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of visiting the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated by Um Hani bint Abi Talib who went to visit the prophet ﷺ in Mecca during the year of its conquest. When she arrived at his house she found him taking a bath while his daughter Fatima was screening him from view. The prophet ﷺ asked who it was and when he heard it was Um Hani he welcomed her warmly. This hadith teaches us that we should always be respectful when visiting people and that we should always show respect for our elders and those in authority over us. We can also learn from this hadith that even though the prophet ﷺ was an important figure he still took time out for himself to take care of his personal hygiene which is something we should all strive to do as well.
