'A'isha said, "Fatima walked in the same manner that the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, walked. He used to say to her,
'Welcome, my daughter!' Then he would have her sit down on his right or
his left."
'Ali said, "'Ammar asked for permission to enter to visit the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the Prophet recognised
his voice and said, 'Welcome with the best and purest greeting!'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَجِيءُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا لاَ يُوقِظُ نَائِمًا، وَيُسْمِعُ الْيَقْظَانَ.
Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, used to come at night and would give the greeting
in such a way that it would not awaken anyone asleep, but the person who
was awake would hear it."
