4512. Narrated Al-Barā': رضي الله عنه: In the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance, when the people assumed Ihram, they would enter their houses from the back. So Allāh revealed: "...And it is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness) that you enter houses from the back, but Al-Birr (is quality of the one) who fears Allāh. So enter houses through their proper doors..." (V.2:189)

Arabic text

4512 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ، قَالَ: «كَانُوا إِذَا أَحْرَمُوا فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَتَوْا البَيْتَ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {وَلَيْسَ البِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا البُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَلَكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى وَأْتُوا البُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا} [البقرة: 189]
