الطبراني:٤٠٦٤حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَنْبَسَةَ ثنا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَوْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الِاسْتِئْنَاسُ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ الْخَادِمَ حَتَّى يَسْتَأْنِسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِينَ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِمْ»
