Sahih al-Bukhari 6010 (Book 79, Hadith 19)
said, “I asked permission to enter upon `Umar three times, but I was not given the permission, so I
returned.” (When `Umar came to know about it) he said to Abu Musa, “Why did you not enter?’. Abu
Musa replied, “I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
said, “If anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.’ ” `Umar said, “By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it.” (Abu Musa
went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). “Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet (ﷺ) ?” Ubai bin
Ka`b said, “By Allah, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness).” (Abu
Sa`id) was the youngest of them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed `Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
said so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)
“ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلاَثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ ”. فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَتُقِيمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ بِبَيِّنَةٍ. أَمِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ سَمِعَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلاَّ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ، فَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ، فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ذَلِكَ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ عَنْ بُسْرٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ بِهَذَا.
