Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #1086
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 مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْلَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا قَالَ: أَأَدْخُلُ؟ وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمْ، فَقُلْ: لاَ، حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِالْمِفْتَاحِ، قُلْتُ: السَّلاَمُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ.
'Ata' reported that Abu Hurayra said, "When someone says, "Can
I come in?" and does not give the key.'" 'Ata' said, "Peace?" and Abu Hurayra
replied, "Yes."
