A man saying, "My son" to someone whose father did not become Muslim
Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَلْمٍ الْعَلَوِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ خَادِمًا لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ أَدْخُلُ بِغَيْرِ اسْتِئْذَانٍ، فَجِئْتُ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ: كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا بُنَيَّ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ بَعْدَكَ أَمْرٌ: لا تَدْخُلَنَّ إِلا بِإِذْنٍ.
Translation
Anas said, "I used to serve the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace." He continued, "I used to enter without asking for permission to enter. One day I came and he said, 'My son, there is a new situation. You should not come in unless you have permission.'"
