Mu'awiya ibn Hudayj said, "I came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may
Allah be pleased with him, and asked him for permission to enter. They
told me, 'Stay where you are until he comes to you.' I sat down near his
door." He continued, "'Umar came out to me, called for water and did wudu'.
Then he wiped over his leather socks. I said, 'O Amir al'-Mu'minin, is
this on account of urine?' He replied, 'On account of urine or other things.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، وَأَفْهَمَنِي بَعْضَهُ عَنْهُ أَبُو حَفْصِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ كَلَدَةَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْفَتْحِ بِلَبَنٍ وَجِدَايَةٍ وَضَغَابِيسَ، قَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ: يَعْنِي الْبَقْلَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي، وَلَمْ أُسَلِّمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَأْذِنْ، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ، فَقُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ صَفْوَانُ.
Kalda ibn Hanbal reported that Safwan ibn Umayya sent him to the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, during the Conquest of
Makka with some milk, gazelle, and cucumber. (Abu 'Asim said that the meant
vegetables.) The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
at the top of the valley and I did not give the greeting nor ask for permission.
He said, "Go back and say, 'Peace be upon you. May I enter?' That was after
Safwan had become Muslim."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْيَحْصِبِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ، صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا أَتَى بَابًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْهُ، جَاءَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَهُ وَإِلا انْصَرَفَ.
'Abdullah ibn Busr, the Companion of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came to a door when he wanted to ask permission to
enter, he did not face it directly. He stood to the right or the left.
If he was given permission, he went in. Otherwise he went away.
