حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَوْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا السَّلَامُ فَمَا الِاسْتِئْذَانُ قَالَ يَتَکَلَّمُ الرَّجُلُ تَسْبِيحَةً وَتَکْبِيرَةً وَتَحْمِيدَةً وَيَتَنَحْنَحُ وَيُؤْذِنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3707
It was narrated that Abu Ayyub Ansari said: "We said: '0 Messenger of Allah, (we know) this (greeting of) Satan, but what does seeking permission to enter mean?' He said: 'It means a man saying SubhanAlldh, and Allahu Akbar and AI-Hamdu Lillah, and clearing his throat, announcing his arrival to the people in the house” (Daif)
