14348 - My father narrated to us, [saying]: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, [saying]: 'Abd al-Rahim (1) ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Wasil ibn al-Sa'ib, [who said]: Abu Surah, the nephew of Abu Ayyub, narrated to me, from Abu Ayyub, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the greeting (salam), so what is the seeking of intimacy (isti'nas)?" He replied, "A man says a tasbihah (saying Subhan Allah), a takbirah (saying Allahu Akbar), and a tahmidah (saying Alhamdu lillah), and clears his throat, so he alerts the people of the house."
14349 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, [saying]: Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, [saying]: Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, [saying]: 'Ata' ibn Dinar narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr regarding the saying of Allah: "Until you seek intimacy"—he means: before seeking permission.
His saying, the Exalted: "And greet their people."
14350 - And by the same chain, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding His saying: "Until you seek intimacy and greet their people," [he said]: There is a precedence [in order] in it, meaning: until you greet and then seek permission, for the greeting is before the seeking of permission.
14351 - My father narrated to us, [saying]: Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us, [saying]: Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Amr, from 'Ikrimah, regarding His saying: "Until you seek intimacy and greet their people," he said: If you enter a house in which there is no one, then say: "Peace be upon us from our Lord, peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah."
I read to Muhammad ibn al-Fadl, [who said]: Muhammad ibn 'Ali narrated to us, [who said]: Muhammad ibn Muzahim narrated to us, [who said]: Bukayr ibn Ma'ruf narrated to us, from Muqatil ibn Hayyan, regarding His saying: "Until you seek intimacy and greet their people," [he said]: There is a precedence [in order] in it; He ordered them to start by greeting, then to seek permission, so that the people of the house may take their precautions. If he is given permission, he enters; and if he is told to return, he returns.
His saying: "That is better for you."
14352 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, [saying]: Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, [saying]: Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, [saying]: 'Ata' narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "That"—meaning: the seeking of permission and the greeting—"is better for you," meaning: better than entering without permission, that you might not sin and the people of the house might take their precautions.
His saying: "That you may remember."
14353 - By the same chain, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "That you may remember," meaning: the seeking of permission and the greeting is better for you, so that you may enter it as Allah has ordered you.

١٤٣٤٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا عبد الرحيم «١» ابن سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سُورَةَ ابْنِ أَخِي أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: هَذَا السَّلامُ، فَمَا الاسْتِئْنَاسُ؟ قَالَ: يَتَكَلَّمُ الرَّجُلُ بِتَسْبِيحَةٍ وَتَكْبِيرَةٍ وَتَحْمِيدَةٍ، وَيَتَنَحْنَحُ فَيُؤْذِنُ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ.
١٤٣٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا يحى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا يَعْنِى قَبْلَ الاسْتِئْذَانِ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا.
١٤٣٥٠ - وَبِهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَوْلَهُ: حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا فِيهَا تَقْدِيمٌ يَعْنِى: حَتَّى تُسَلِّمُوا ثُمَّ تَسْتَأْذِنُوا وَالسَّلامُ قَبْلَ الاسْتِئْذَانِ.
١٤٣٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ: حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا قَالَ: إِذَا دَخَلْتَ بَيْتًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ فَقُلِ:
السَّلامُ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَبِّنَا السَّلامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ.
قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ، ثنا بكير ابن مَعْرُوفٍ، عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ قَوْلُهُ: حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا فِيهَا تَقْدِيمٌ أَمَرَهُمْ أن يبدؤا فَيُسَلِّمُوا، ثُمَّ يَسْتَأْذِنُوا فَيَأْخُذَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ حِذْرَهُمْ، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَهُ دَخَلَ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ رَجَعَ.
قوله: ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ.
١٤٣٥٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا يحى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: ذَلِكُمْ يَعْنِى: الاسْتِئْذَانُ وَالتَّسْلِيمُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ يَعْنِى: أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ أَنْ لَا تَأْثَمُوا وَيَأْخُذَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ حِذْرَهُمْ.
قوله: لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ.
١٤٣٥٣ - بِهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ يَعْنِى الاسْتِئْذَانُ وَالتَّسْلِيمُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ فَيَدْخُلُهَا مَا أَمَرَكُمُ الله.
