عَن الْمِقْدَادِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ في حَدِيثِهِ الطَّويلِ قالَ: كُنَّا نَرْفَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ، فَيَجِيءُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا لا يُوقِظُ نَائِمًا، وَيُسمِعُ اليَقْظَانَ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمَ كمَا كانَ يُسَلِّمُ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
From al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him), in his long hadith, who said: We used to set aside for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) his share of the milk, and he would come at night and give the greeting in a manner that would not wake a sleeper but would be heard by one who was awake. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and gave the greeting as he used to give it. Reported by Muslim.

أنّ الإنسان إذا جاء إلى مكان فيه من هو نائم ومن هو مستيقظ، وأراد أن يسلم فليسمع اليقظان فقط، من غير أن يزعج النائم. كمال أدب النّبيّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ وحسن خلقه.
That when a person comes to a place where there is someone asleep and someone awake, and he wishes to give the greeting, he should let only the one who is awake hear it, without disturbing the sleeper. The perfection of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) manners and the excellence of his character.
