English translation

1212. It was narrated that 'Alī said: "I had certain times when I used to come to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. When I came to him I would ask for permission to enter. If I found him praying he would clear his throat and I would enter, and if I found him free he would give me permission (to enter)." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1211 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ الْعُكْلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُجَيٍّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعَةٌ آتِيهِ فِيهَا، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُهُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ «إِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فَتَنَحْنَحَ دَخَلْتُ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ فَارِغًا أَذِنَ لِي»

Commentary

1. In some narrations, there is mention of pronouncing Subhanallah instead of clearing the throat (Tanahnah). 2. Grunting during the course of prayer is permitted whether it be due to one's temperamental necessity or it be symbolical to instruct someone.
