لِيَسْتَأْذِنِ الَّذِينَ مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كَمَا أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ بَلَغَ الْحُلُمَ فَلَا يَلِجُ عَلَى أُمِّهِ وَ لَا عَلَى أُخْتِهِ وَ لَا عَلَى خَالَتِهِ وَ لَا عَلَى سِوَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنٍ فَلَا تَأْذَنُوا حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ وَ السَّلَامُ طَاعَةٌ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لِيَسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْكَ خَادِمُكَ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْحُلُمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ عَوْرَاتٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ وَ لَوْ كَانَ بَيْتُهُ فِي بَيْتِكَ قَالَ وَ لْيَسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الَّتِي تُسَمَّى الْعَتَمَةَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُ وَ حِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ مِنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ لِلْخَلْوَةِ فَإِنَّهَا سَاعَةُ غِرَّةٍ وَ خَلْوَةٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, altogether from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Qasim Bin Suleyman, from Jarrah Al Madainy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Let them seek permission, those whom your right hands possess, and those who have not yet reached puberty, three times from you just as Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Commanded you; and the ones who have attained puberty, so he should neither enter into (chamber of) his mother, nor the (chamber of) his sister, nor the (chamber of) his maternal aunt, nor the (chamber of) anyone besides that, except by permission. So do not give permission until they have greeted, and the greeting is in obedience to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’. He (the narrator) said: ‘And Abu Abullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Let your servant seek permission to you when he has attained puberty during three times of privacy, when he enters the (chamber of) anyone of them, even though his room is inside your house. And let him seek permission after the evening which is called <span class="iTxt">Al-Atmat</span>, and when it is the morning, and when you put-off your clothes from the backs. But rather, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Commanded with that for the privacy, for these are timings of inattention and privacy’.
