Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْيَحْصَبِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بُسْرٍ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَاءَ الْبَابَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْهُ يَقُولُ يَمْشِي مَعَ الْحَائِطِ حَتَّى يَسْتَأْذِنَ فَيُؤْذَنَ لَهُ أَوْ يَنْصَرِفَ.

Al-Hakam ibn Musa told us, Abdullah said: and I also heard it from al-Hakam, he said: Baqiyyah told us, who said: Muhammad ibn Abdur-Rahman al-Yahsabi also narrated to me, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Busr, a companion of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to a door to seek permission to enter, he would not face it directly; he would walk along the wall until he was given permission and admitted, or he would turn away.
