2710. 'Amr bin Abī Sufyān narrated that 'Amr bin 'Abdullāh bin Ṣafwān informed him, that Kaladah bin Ḥanbal had informed him, that Ṣafwān bin Umayyah sent him to bring some milk, colostrum, and Daghābīs[1] to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the upper valley. (He said): "I entered upon him without seeking permission nor giving Salām. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Go back and say: As-Salāmu
‘Alaikum, may I enter?’” And that was after Ṣafwān had accepted Islam.” (Ḥasan)
‘Amr said: “Umayyah bin Ṣafwān (also) informed me of this Ḥadīth, but he did not mention that he actually heard it from Kaladah.”
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except through the narration of Ibn Juraij. Abū ‘Āsim also reported it from Ibn Juraij similarly. [And Daghābūs refers to herbs which are eaten.]
