حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَی بَابَ قَوْمٍ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْ الْبَابَ مِنْ تِلْقَائِ وَجْهِهِ وَلَکِنْ مِنْ رُکْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ أَوْ الْأَيْسَرِ وَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَذَلِکَ أَنَّ الدُّورَ لَمْ يَکُنْ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ سُتُورٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5186
Narrated Abdullah ibn Busr: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to some people's door, he did not face it squarely, but faced the right or left corner, and said: Peace be upon you! peace be upon you! That was because there were no curtains on the doors of the house at that time.
