Ibn 'Abbas said, "'Umar asked permission to visit the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Peace be upon the Messenger
of Allah! Peace be upon you! Can I come in?'"
Rib'i ibn Hirash reported that a man of the Banu 'Amir came to
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Can I
come in?" The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told his
slavegirl, "Go out and say to him,, 'Say, "Peace be upon you. Can I come
in?" He is not good at asking permission to enter." The man said, "I heard
that before the slavegirl came out to me and I said, 'Peace be upon you.
Can I come in?' Then the Prophet said, 'And on you. Enter!'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي دَيْنٍ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِي، فَدَقَقْتُ الْبَابَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ ذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، قَالَ: أَنَا، أَنَا؟، كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَهُ.
Jabir said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, about a debt my father owed. I knocked at the
door and he asked. 'Who is it?' 'Me,' I replied. He said, 'Me? Me?' as
if he disliked that."
'Ata' reported that Abu Hurayra said, "When someone says, "Can
I come in?" and does not give the key.'" 'Ata' said, "Peace?" and Abu Hurayra
replied, "Yes."
