[5626] 33 - (2153) Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: "I was sitting in Al-Madînah, in a gathering of the Anshâr, when Abû Mûsâ came to us, in a panic, or trembling with fear. We said: 'What is the matter with you?' He said: "Umar sent for me to come to him, and I came to his door and said Salâm three times, but he did not answer me, so I went back.' He said: 'What kept you from coming to us?' I said: 'I did come, and I said Salâm three times at your door, but you did not answer me, so I went back, because the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "If one of you asks permission to enter three times and permission is not given to him, let him go back.'" 'Umar said: 'Bring proof (of the Prophet ﷺ saying that), otherwise I will take you to task.' Ubayy bin Ka'b said: 'No one should go with him but the youngest of the people.'" Abû Sa'eed said: "I said: 'I am the youngest of the people.' He said: 'Go with him.'"
