Chapter 135
Excellence of Greeting at the time of entry into the House

قَالَ الله تَعَالَى : ﴿ فَإذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُيُوتاً فَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ﴾ [ النور (61) ] . هذه الآية عامة في جميع البيوت ، فإذا دخل بيتًا فيه أهله فليسلِّم عليهم . وإذا دخل بيته فليسلِّم على أهله . وإذا دخل بيتًا خاليًا فليقل : السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين .

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allah (i.e., say: As-Salamu 'Alaikum - may you be safe from evil), blessed and good." (24:61)
 

[861] وعن أنسٍ قال : قَالَ لي رسول الله : « يَا بُنَيَّ ، إِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَى أهْلِكَ ، فَسَلِّمْ ، يَكُنْ بَرَكَةً عَلَيْكَ ، وعلى أهْلِ بَيْتِكَ » . رواه الترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحيحٌ ) . فيه : الأمر بالسلام إذا دخل بيته لتناله بركة التحية .

861. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "Dear son, when you enter your house, say As-Salamu 'Alaikum to your family, for it will be a blessing both to you and to your family."

[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: Many people, on returning home, feel belittled in saying As-Salamu 'Alaikum to their household. In fact, As-Salam is a prayer for goodness, blessing and peace, and one should have no complex about it.
