Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1100
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ مِسْكِينٍ بِنْتِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَتْنِي مَوْلاَتِي إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَجَاءَ مَعِي، فَلَمَّا قَامَ بِالْبَابِ فقَالَ: أَنْدَرَايِيمْ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنْدَرُونْ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي الزَّوْرُ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَأَتَحَدَّثُ؟ قَالَ: تَحَدَّثِي مَا لَمْ تُوتِرِي، فَإِذَا أَوْتَرْتِ فَلاَ حَدِيثَ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ.

Abu Abd al-Malik, the client of Umm Miskin bint Asim ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab, said: My mistress sent me to Abu Hurayra, and he came with me. When he stood at the door, he said in Persian, “Andarāyam?” She replied, “Andarun.” She then said, “Abu Hurayra, visitors come to me after the night has grown dark. May I converse with them?” He replied, “Talk as long as you have not prayed witr. Once you have prayed witr, there should be no conversation afterward.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Persian door exchange is transmitted phonetically in Arabic script; its precise vocalization is uncertain, so the transliterations are retained with the apparent sense.
أَنْدَرَايِيمْ
The Persian phrase is written phonetically in Arabic script; the witness interprets it as a request to enter.
Can the Persian wording be confirmed as “May I/we enter?” while preserving its transmitted form?
