أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ الْعُکْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُجَيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ کَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعَةٌ آتِيهِ فِيهَا فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُهُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ إِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فَتَنَحْنَحَ دَخَلْتُ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ فَارِغًا أَذِنَ لِي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1216
It was narrated that ‘Ali said: “I had certain times when I used to come to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلمWhen I came to him I would ask for permission to enter. If I found him praying he would clear his throat and I would enter, and if I found him free he would give me permission (to enter).” (Sahih)
