[5628] 34 - (...) Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: "We were in a gathering with Ubayy bin Ka'b, when Abû Mûsâ Al-Ash'arî came, looking angry. He stood there and said: 'I adjure you by Allâh, did anyone among you hear the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "Permission is to be sought three times, then if permission is given to you, (enter) otherwise go back"?' Ubayy said: 'Why is that?' He said: 'I asked permission to enter upon 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb three times yesterday, but permission was not given to me, so I went back.' Then I came to him today and entered upon him, and I told him that I had come to him yesterday and said Salâm three times, then I went away. He said: "We heard you but we were busy with something at that time. Why didn't you keep asking for permission until permission was given to you?" He said: "I asked permission as I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ (say we should ask permission)." He said: "By Allâh, I will beat you on your back and your stomach if you do not bring someone to bear witness to that." "Ubayy bin Ka'b said: 'By Allâh, no one will go with you but the youngest of us. Get up, O Abû Sa'eed!' So I got up and went to 'Umar, and I said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say that.'"

34 - (2153) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، أَنَّ بُسْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: كُنَّا فِي مَجْلِسٍ عِنْدَ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، فَأَتَى أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ مُغْضَبًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ هَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الِاسْتِئْذَانُ ثَلَاثٌ، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَكَ، وَإِلَّا فَارْجِعْ» قَالَ أُبَيٌّ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَمْسِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ الْيَوْمَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، أَنِّي جِئْتُ أَمْسِ فَسَلَّمْتُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ. قَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ وَنَحْنُ حِينَئِذٍ عَلَى شُغْلٍ، فَلَوْ مَا اسْتَأْذَنْتَ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ كَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ، لَأُوجِعَنَّ ظَهْرَكَ وَبَطْنَكَ، أَوْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّ بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ عَلَى هَذَا، فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: فَوَاللهِ، لَا يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا أَحْدَثُنَا سِنًّا، قُمْ، يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ، فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ هَذَا "
