(22). 3219. Anas bin Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was staying with one of his wives, so he sent me to invite people for a meal. When they ate and left, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood and went off in the direction of 'Aishah's house. He saw two men (still) sitting, so he turned to come back, then the two men stood up to leave. So Allāh [the Mighty and Sublime] revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the Prophet's house unless permission is given to you for a meal, not to wait for its preparation.'"[2] And there is a longer story with the narration.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb as a narration of Bayān, and Thābit reported this Ḥadīth from Anas in its entirety.
