حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مَنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ فَقَالَ أَلِجُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِخَادِمِهِ اخْرُجْ إِلَی هَذَا فَعَلِّمْهُ الِاسْتِئْذَانَ فَقُلْ لَهُ قُلْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ أَأَدْخُلُ فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ أَأَدْخُلُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5177
Narrated Ribi: A man of Banu Amir told that he asked the Prophet ﷺ for permission (to enter the house) when he was in the house, saying: May I enter ? The Prophet ﷺ said to his servant: Go out to this (man) and teach him how to ask permission to enter the house, and say to him: "Say: Peace be upon you. May I enter?" The man heard it and said: Peace be upon you! May I enter ? The Prophet ﷺ permitted him and he entered.
