Entering/ Leaving a House

2.1 HOW TO ENTER
Enter or leave your house with your right foot first, as it was the
tradition of the Prophet. Imaam Abul Ala Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Hamazani,
a great scholar of Hadith of his time, was so keen on applying this
Sunnah to the extent that if someone entered his house with their left
foot first, he would ask them to go out and re-enter with their right
foot first. He was so much respected that the Sultan of the day would
visit him at school and sit in front of him as a student. At one
occasion, he told the Sultan to exit with his right foot first andwalk
on the right side of the road.
When entering or leaving ahouse, do not push the door violently, or
slam it shut, or leave it to close by itself wildly. Such actions
stand in contrast to the gracefulness of Islam to which you are
honoured tobelong. Close the door quietly with your hand. You may have
heard a Hadith reported by Imam Muslim whereby 'Aisha (RA)quotes the
Prophet: 'Gentleness adorns every act. Its absence will tarnish it.'
2.2 ENTERING WHILE OTHERS ARE ASLEEP
If you enter a place where people are sleeping, whether during day or
night, be quiet and gentle. Be considerate. Do not cause any undue
noise when entering or exiting. You have heard the saying of the
Prophet (صلى الله عليهوسلم): 'Whoever is deprived of gentleness, is
deprived of all sorts of goodness.' Muslim and Al- Tirmidhi reported
that the honourable companion Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad (RA) said: 'We
used to preserve the Prophet's share of the milk, when he came back at
night he would greet us with a voice loud enough for those awake to
hear, without disturbing those who were asleep.' In addition, whenever
the Prophet used to pray at night, he would recite the Quran with a
voice that pleased those that were awake, without disturbing those
that were asleep.'
Princess Qatrul Nada (Dew point) was famous for her intelligence,
manners and beauty. She was the daughter of Khimarwaih bin Ahmad bin
Toulon, the King of Egypt. She married Al-Mu'taded Billah. Qatrul Nada
said: 'My father taught me an important manner – do not sleep among
sitting people and do not sit among sleeping people.'
