Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #1070

Asking Permission

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ‏:‏ إِذَا دَخَلَ وَلَمْ يَقُلِ‏:‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقُلْ‏:‏ لاَ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ بِالْمِفْتَاحِ‏:‏ السَّلامِ‏.‏
Abu Hurayra said, "When someone comes in and does not say, 'Peace be upon you,' then say, 'No,' until he brings the key which is the greeting (salam)."
