وَعَن عبد الله بن بُسرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَى بَابَ قَوْمٍ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْبَاب تِلْقَاءِ وَجْهِهِ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَيَقُولُ: «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ» وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الدُّورَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا سُتُورٌ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ أَنَسٍ قَالَ ﷺ: «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ» فِي «بَابِ الضِّيَافَةِ»
Abdullah bin Busr Narrated from:
When Allah's Messenger ﷺ came to the door of anyone, he never faced it directly. Rather, he stood to the right or left side (of it) and would say 'as salaamu alaykum, as salaamu alaykum (thrice). That was because the houses in those days did not have curtain on their doors. [1]
