Method of giving Salām in an empty home
Here are two methods of giving Salām in an empty home: It is stated on page 24 of a 32-page booklet named ‘101 Madanī Pearls’ published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ (the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami), ‘If someone goes into an empty house (even if it is his own house), he should say, ‘اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡنَا وَ عَلٰي عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصّٰلِحِيۡن’ (i.e. Salām be upon us and the righteous bondsmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ). The angels will reply to this Salām. (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 9, pp. 682)
Or he should say: ‘اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكَ اَ يُّهَا النَّبِيُّ’ (i.e. O Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Salām be upon you), because the blessed soul of the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is present in the homes of the Muslims.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, part 16, pp. 96; Sharḥ-ush-Shifā lil-Qārī, vol. 2, pp. 118)
Ay Madīnay kay Tājdār salām, ay gharībaun kay gham-gusār salām
Mayray piyāray pay mayray Āqā per, mayrī jānib say lākĥ bār salām
O King of Madīnaĥ! Salām! O helper of the sorrowful! Salām!
Thousands of Salām upon my Beloved, upon my Master!
