Sahih al-Bukhari 4791 (Book 65, Hadith 313) #4574
Entering The Houses Of The Prophet

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) inviting people to a meal and then showing them that he was ready to leave, but they did not get up. Allah then revealed a verse in the Quran regarding entering the houses of the Prophet.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: When Allah's Messenger ﷺ married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people to a meal. They took the meal and remained sitting and talking. Then the Prophet (showed them) as if he is ready to get up, yet they did not get up. When he noticed that (there was no response to his movement), he got up, and the others too, got up except three persons who kept on sitting. The Prophet ﷺ came back in order to enter his house, but he went away again. Then they left, whereupon I set out and went to the Prophet ﷺ to tell him that they had departed, so he came and entered his house. I wanted to enter along with him, but he put a screen between me and him. Then Allah revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet'. (33:53)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقَاشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ دَعَا الْقَوْمَ، فَطَعِمُوا ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَإِذَا هُوَ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْقِيَامِ فَلَمْ يَقُومُوا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَامَ مَنْ قَامَ، وَقَعَدَ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيَدْخُلَ فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ جُلُوسٌ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ قَامُوا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ انْطَلَقُوا، فَجَاءَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ فَأَلْقَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ‏}‏ الآيَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about when the Prophet Muhammad invited people to a meal and they stayed for some time after eating. When it seemed like he was ready to leave, they still did not get up, so he left and went back home. Allah then revealed a verse in the Quran which stated that believers should not enter into his house without permission. This hadith teaches us that we should respect other people's privacy and be mindful of our actions when we are around them. We should also be aware of our surroundings and pay attention to any signals or cues given by those around us so as not to overstay our welcome or make others uncomfortable. Additionally, this hadith reminds us of how important it is for us to obey Allah's commands even if we do not understand why He has commanded something at first glance; this obedience will eventually lead us closer towards Him as He knows what is best for us even if we do not understand it at first.
