Al-Ahzab
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَدۡخُلُواْ بُيُوتَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡذَنَ لَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامٍ غَيۡرَ نَٰظِرِينَ إِنَىٰهُ وَلَٰكِنۡ إِذَا دُعِيتُمۡ فَٱدۡخُلُواْ فَإِذَا طَعِمۡتُمۡ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ وَلَا مُسۡتَٔۡنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ يُؤۡذِي ٱلنَّبِيَّ فَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنكُمۡۖ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَإِذَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَٰعٗا فَسَۡٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٖۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَطۡهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمۡ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّۚ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ أَن تُؤۡذُواْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓاْ أَزۡوَٰجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا
53O you who believe! Don’t enter the Prophet’s (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) houses, unless you are given permission to take a meal there. Don’t go (too early) to wait there for the preparation of the meal. However, when you are invited, then you may enter (his houses). When you have taken the meal, do leave the place. And don’t sit around for mutual talk. Indeed, such behaviour bothers the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and he is shy to tell you (to leave the place), but Allah is not shy of telling you the truth. And when you ask (his wives) about anything, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not permissible for you to annoy the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) [i.e. (i) by entering his house without permission (ii) by overstaying in his house without his consent (iii) by speaking to his wives without a screen]. And it is not lawful for you to marry his wives after his death. Indeed, it will be a major sin in the sight of Allah. (Making an intention of it in your heart or expressing it by tongue is a major sin also).
