A man who is told: Enter in peace

Abu Mijlaz said that when Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked permission to enter and it was said to him, "Enter with peace," he would turn back and say, "I do not know whether I will be with peace or without peace."

Abu al-Jarrah said that a man from the people of Hijaz related: My wife said to me, "Bring Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) to me so that I may ask him for a fatwa concerning my matter." So I went to him and he came with me. When we reached the door, he said, "Enter the house." So I entered and said, "Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah has come." He said, "As-salamu alaykum, may I enter?" We said, "Enter with peace." He said again, "As-salamu alaykum, may I enter?" We said again, "Enter with peace." He said, "Say: 'Enter.'" He asked, "As-salamu alaykum, may I enter?" We said to him, "Enter." So he entered.
