Riyad as-Salihin, 873
Kildah bin Al-Hanbal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I visited the Prophet (ﷺ) and I entered his house without seeking permission. So he said, "Go back and say: 'As-Salamu 'alaikum (may peace be upon you). May I come in?"' <b>[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
عن كلدة بن الحنبل رضي الله عنه قال: أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فدخلت عليه ولم أسلم، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ارجع فقل السلام عليكم أأدخل؟
((رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) One of the etiquettes of seeking permission is to give the greeting of peace and wait until permission to enter is granted.<br>
2) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Ummah the proper etiquettes, and he did so using both words and deeds.
