The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَ " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّي مَعَهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْهَا " . فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّي خَادِمُهَا . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْهَا أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرَاهَا عُرْيَانَةً " . قَالَ لاَ . قَالَ " فَاسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْهَا " .
Malik related to me from Safwan ibn Sulaym from Ata ibn Yasar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was questioned by a man who said, "Messenger of Allah, shall I ask
permission of my mother to enter?" He said, "Yes " The man said, "I
live with her in the house". The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said "Ask her permission." The man said, "I
am her servant." The Messenger of Allah. may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Ask her permission. Do you want to see her naked?"
He said, "No." He said, "Then ask her permission."
