LessonsCompanionship, Trust, Mosque Etiquette, Detachment, and Workers’ Rights (Hadith 146–153)Quiz

لَا تَأْذَنُوا لِمَنْ لَمْ يَبْدَأْ بِالسَّلَامِ
Do not grant entry permission to someone who has not begun with the greeting of peace.

Source: البيهقي

لَا تَأْذَنُوا is a plural prohibition meaning “do not grant permission.” The wāw of the group identifies multiple addressees. لِمَنْ لَمْ يَبْدَأْ means “to one who has not begun,” followed by بِالسَّلَامِ, “with the greeting of peace.”

A visitor to someone’s home or private space should greet and seek permission respectfully. Sensible attention to actual circumstances and safety still matters; the narration is not a license for insulting guests or treating an overlooked greeting as proof of bad character.
