The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to visit them and eat with them

“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, visited us in our home, and said: ‘As-Salaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah.’ Sa`d responded silently. I said: ‘Will you not give the Messenger of Allah permission to enter?’ He said: ‘Leave him, and allow him to send abundant supplications of peace on us.’ The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘As-Salaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah.’ Sa`d again responded silently. The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, then said again: ‘As-Salaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah.’ After that, the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, turned back, and Sa`d followed behind him, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I heard you, but was responding silently, so that you can abundantly send supplications of peace on us.’ The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, went with him, and Sa`d ordered that some water be brought for him to wash up, then he brought him a cloak that was dyed with saffron and yellow, which he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, covered himself with, then raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah, send your blessings and mercy on the family of Sa`d ibn `Ubaadah.’ Then he ate, and when he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was about to leave, Sa`d brought a donkey that had a velvet cover, and the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, rode it. Sa`d said: ‘O Qays, accompany the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,’ the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Ride the donkey,’ but I refused. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Either ride, or go away,’ so I left and went away.”
