Riyad as-Salihin 872 (Book 5, Hadith 29) #37361
The Etiquette of Seeking Permission

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

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 for permission to enter when he was at home. He said: "May I enter?" the Messenger of Allah 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 then granted him permission and he entered. Abu Dawud.
وعن ربعي بن حراش قال‏:‏ حدثنا رجل من بني عامر استأذن علي النبي وهو في بيت، فقال‏:‏ أألج‏؟‏ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لخادمه‏:‏ ‏"‏أخرج إلي هذا وعلمه الاستئذان، فقل له‏:‏ قل‏:‏ السلام عليكم، أأدخل‏؟‏” فسمعه الرجل فقال‏:‏ السلام عليكم، أأدخل‏؟‏ فأذن له النبي ، فدخل‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of seeking permission before entering someone's home. It is a sign of respect and good manners to ask for permission before entering someone's house, as it shows that we are mindful and considerate of other people's privacy. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ demonstrated this etiquette when a man asked for his permission to enter his house. He instructed the man to say "As-Salamu 'Alaikum" which means "peace be upon you" and then ask if he could come in. By following this example, we can show respect towards others by asking for their permission before entering their homes or any other private space.
