Hamzat ibn Hamran narrated that he and Hassan al-Attar went to see Imam Sadiq (a.s). They greeted, and the Imam (a.s) greeted back. They waited to receive permission to enter. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked: “
Why do you not enter? Did I not grant you permission to enter? Is not my greeting back permission for you to enter? O' people of Iraq! Why are you surprised? That first permission is enough.” In another tradition we read that Imam Ali (a.s) sought permission to enter even from the free non-Muslims living in Muslim countries who, in return for paying the capital tax, enjoyed protection and safety.
عن حمزة بن حمران قال
كنت أنا وحسن العطار فسلمنا على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) فرد علينا السلام، ثم نظرنا أن يقول لنا ادخلوا، فقال: ما لكم لا تدخلون أليس قد أذنت؟ أليس قد رددت عليكم فقد أذنتكم؟ يا أهل العراق ما أعجبكم يكتفي بالأول. وفي رواية: كان علي (عليه السلام) يستأذن على أهل الذمة.
