English translation
2062. Narrated 'Ubaid bin 'Umaid: Abū Mūsā asked 'Umar رضي الله عنه to admit him but he was not admitted as 'Umar was busy, so Abū Mūsā went back. When 'Umar finished his job he said, "Didn't I hear the voice of 'Abdullāh bin Qais? Let him come in." 'Umar was told that he had left. So, he sent for him and on his arrival, he (Abū Mūsā) said, "We were ordered to do so (i.e., to leave if not admitted after asking permission thrice). 'Umar told him, "Bring witness in proof of your statement." Abu Mūsā went to the Anṣār's meeting places and asked them. They said, "None amongst us will give this witness except the youngest of us, Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī. Abū Mūsā then took Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī (to 'Umar) and 'Umar said surprisingly, "Has this order of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ been hidden from me?" (Then he added), "I used to be busy trading in markets, i.e., going out for trading."
