Musnad Abi Ya'la 1732 — it was the custom of the Ansar that when they
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ: " كَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِذَا حَجُّوا لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا الْبُيُوتَ إِلَّا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَخَلَ مِنْ بَابِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا} [البقرة: 189] الْآيَةَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that "it was the custom of the Ansar that when they performed Hajj, they would enter their houses from the back instead of through the front doors. Then a man from the Ansar came and entered through the door (of his house), and he was criticised for it, whereupon this blessed verse was revealed: 'And it is not righteousness that you enter houses from their backs.'"
