Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #1084
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 أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، وَأَفْهَمَنِي بَعْضَهُ عَنْهُ أَبُو حَفْصِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ كَلَدَةَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْفَتْحِ بِلَبَنٍ وَجِدَايَةٍ وَضَغَابِيسَ، قَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ: يَعْنِي الْبَقْلَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي، وَلَمْ أُسَلِّمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَأْذِنْ، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ، فَقُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ صَفْوَانُ.
Kalda ibn Hanbal reported that Safwan ibn Umayya sent him to the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, during the Conquest of
Makka with some milk, gazelle, and cucumber. (Abu 'Asim said that the meant
vegetables.) The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
at the top of the valley and I did not give the greeting nor ask for permission.
He said, "Go back and say, 'Peace be upon you. May I enter?' That was after
Safwan had become Muslim."
