Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When a man enters his house, he should say: 'O Allah, I ask You for the good of this entrance and exit. In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we rely.' Then he should greet his family."

(1) The statement "then he should greet his family" - In Fusul al-'Alami: "When entering upon his family, he should greet them first before speaking." As mentioned in Radd al-Muhtar. And in Al-'Alamgiriyyah: "When a man enters his house, he should greet his family. If no one is present, he should say: 'Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah.' As in Al-Muhit."

(۱) قوله: ثم ليسلم على أهله وفي فصول العلامي: وإن دخل على أهله يُسلّم أولا ثم يتكلم. قاله في رد المحتار». وقال في العالمگيرية»: إذا دخل الرجل في بيته يُسلّم على أهل بيته، وإن لم يكن في البيت أحد يقول: السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين. كذا في المحيط».

ف: واضح ہو کہ جب انسان اپنے گھر میں داخل ہو تو گھر والوں پر پہلے سلام کرے پھر بات کرے اور اگر گھر میں کوئی نہ ہو تو یوں کہے:۔ ”السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلٰى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ۔ ہم پر اور اللہ تعالیٰ کے نیک بندوں یعنی فرشتوں پر سلام ہے۔ (رد المحتار اور عالمگیریہ 12)
