Anas ibn Malik reported that a bedouin came to the house of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and put his
eye to the crack of the door. Therefore the Prophet took an arrow or a
sharp stick and aimed it at the bedouin as to gouge out his eye. The man
left and the Prophet said, "If you had stayed, I would have gouged out
your eye."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا حَيٍّ الْمُؤَذِّنَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى جَوْفِ بَيْتٍ حَتَّى يَسْتَأْذِنَ، فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ دَخَلَ. وَلاَ يَؤُمُّ قَوْمًا فَيَخُصُّ نَفْسَهُ بِدَعْوَةٍ دُونَهُمْ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ. وَلاَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ حَاقِنٌ حَتَّى يَتَخَفَّفَ.
Thawban, the mawla of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim man to look inside
a house until he has been given permission. If he does so, he has entered.
He should not act as the imam of a people and then single himself out for
supplication to the exclusion of others. He should not pray while he needs
to urinate until he has relieved himself."
Narrated Abu Umama reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, Allah is responsible for three:
if they live, they will
have enough, and if they die, they will enter the Garden. Allah Almighty
is responsible for whoever enters his house , saying 'Peace'. Allah is
responsible for whoever goes out to the mosque. Allah is responsible for
whoever goes out in the Way of Allah."
Jabir said, "When you come in to your family, greet them with
a greeting from Allah which is blessed and good." He added, "I only think
that it is what is meant by His words, 'When you are greeted with a
greeting, greet with one better than it or return it.' (4:86)"
Jabir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When a man enters his house, he should Allah mention
Allah Almighty, both when he enters and he eats. If he does so, Shaytan
says (i.e. to the shayatin), 'You cannot spend the night or eat.'
When he enters and does not mention Allah when he enters, Shaytan says,
'You have got your lodgings for the night and your supper.'"
A'yan al-Khwarizmi said, "We came to Anas ibn Malik while he was
sitting his foyer with anyone else with him. My companion greeted him and
said, 'May I come in?' Anas said, 'Come in. This is a place where no one
asks for permission.' He had food brought to us and we ate. Then a cup
of sweet nabidh was brought and we drank and were full."
Abu Abdul Malik, the mawla of Umm Miskin, the daughter of ('Umar) ibn
'Asim ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, said, "My mistress sent me to Abu Hurayra
and he came with me. When he was at the door, he asked in Persian, 'Can
we come in?' 'Come in!' she replied.' Then she said, 'Abu Hurayra, if visitors
come to me after 'Isha', should I enter into conversation with them?' He
replied, 'Converse as long as you have not done the witr prayer. If you
have done the witr, there is no conversation after it.'"
