Ibn Abbas Commentary

Allah then prohibited them from entering in on one another without first asking permission, saying: (O ye who believe) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an! (Enter not houses other than your own) you are not permitted to enter houses (without first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof. That) announcing your presence and invoking peace (is better for you) and more akin to righteousness, (that ye may be heedful) that you may take admonition and not enter in on each other without permission.

O you who believe do not enter houses other than your houses until you have first asked permission and greeted their occupants. So a person must say ‘Peace be upon you may I enter?’ as is stated in one hadīth. That is better for you than entering without permission that perhaps you might remember tadhakkarūna the second tā’ of tatadhakkarūna has been assimilated with the dhāl the superiority of such conduct and so follow it.
