English Translation

Kaldah ibn Hanbal reported: Safwan ibn Umayyah sent him to the Prophet (peace be upon him) during the Conquest [of Makkah] with milk, a small deer, and wild vegetables — Abu Asim said: meaning greens. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was at the upper part of the valley. He entered without greeting or seeking permission. The Prophet said: 'Go back and say: "As-salamu alaykum. May I enter?"' This was after Safwan had accepted Islam.
