Sahih al-Bukhari 6271 (Book 79, Hadith 45) #6024
Respect for Privacy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of respecting the privacy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and not entering his house without permission.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: When Allah's Messenger ﷺ married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people who took their meals and then remained sitting and talking. The Prophet ﷺ pretended to be ready to get up, but the people did not get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and when he had got up, some of those people got up along with him and there remained three (who kept on sitting). Then the Prophet ﷺ came back and found those people still sitting. Later on those people got up and went away. So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that they had left. The Prophet ﷺ came, and entered (his house). I wanted to enter(along with him) but he dropped a curtain between me and him. Allah then revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the Prophet's Houses until leave is given. (to His statement). Verily! That shall be an enormity, in Allah's sight'. (33:53)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ دَعَا النَّاسَ طَعِمُوا ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَأَخَذَ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْقِيَامِ فَلَمْ يَقُومُوا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَامَ مَنْ قَامَ مَعَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَبَقِيَ ثَلاَثَةٌ، وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَ لِيَدْخُلَ فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ جُلُوسٌ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ قَامُوا فَانْطَلَقُوا ـ قَالَ ـ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ انْطَلَقُوا، فَجَاءَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ، فَأَرْخَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمًا‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting the privacy of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that when the Prophet got married to Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited people to a meal and they stayed talking afterwards. The Prophet pretended to get up but they did not take this as a hint to leave. He then got up and some people left with him while three remained seated. When he returned after some time, those three were still there so Anas informed him that they had left. The prophet then entered his house but asked Anas not to follow him in which Allah revealed verse 33:53 from Quran which states “O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the prophet except when leave is given”. This verse teaches us that we should respect the privacy of our beloved prophet and should never enter his house without permission or invitation from him or his family members. We must also remember that it is an enormity in Allah's sight if we do so as mentioned in this verse from Quran.
