6245. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: While I was present in one of the gatherings of the Anṣār, Abū Mūsā came as if he was scared, and said, "I asked permission to enter upon 'Umar three times, but I was not given permission, so I returned." (When 'Umar came to know about it) he said to Abū Mūsā, "Why did you not enter?" Abū Mūsā replied, "I asked permission three times, and I was not given permission, so I returned, for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'If anyone of you ask permission to enter thrice, and permission is not given, then he should return.'" 'Umar said, "By Allāh! We will ask Abū Mūsā to bring witnesses for it." (Abū Mūsā went to a gathering of the Anṣār and said), "Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet ﷺ?" Ubayy bin Ka'b said, "By Allāh, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness)." (Abū Sa'īd) was the youngest of them, so I went with Abū Mūsā and informed 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ had said so.

6245 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الأَنْصَارِ، إِذْ جَاءَ أَبُو مُوسَى كَأَنَّهُ مَذْعُورٌ، فَقَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ ثَلاَثًا، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ، فَقَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ؟ قُلْتُ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلاَثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلاَثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ» فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَتُقِيمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ بِبَيِّنَةٍ، أَمِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ سَمِعَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا أَصْغَرُ القَوْمِ، فَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَ القَوْمِ فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ المُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، بِهَذَا
