[5633] 37 - (2154) It was narrated that Abû Mûsâ Al-Ash'arî said: “Abû Mûsâ came to ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb and said: ‘As-Salâmu ‘alaikum, this is ‘Abdullâh bin Qais,’ but permission was not given to him to enter. He said: ‘As-Salâmu ‘alaikum, this is Abû Mûsâ; As-Salâmu ‘alaikum, this is Al-Ash'arî.’ Then he left. He (‘Umar) said: ‘Bring him back,’ so they brought him back. He said: ‘O Abû Mûsâ, why did you go back? We were busy with something.’ He said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: “Permission is to be sought three times, then if permission is given to you (go in), otherwise go back.”’ He said: ‘Bring proof of this, or I will do such-and-such. So Abû Mûsâ went away.’ “Umar said: ‘If there is any proof, you will find it by the Minbar this evening. If there is no proof, you will not find it.’ When evening came, he found it. He said: ‘O Abû Mûsâ, what do you say? Did you find it? He said: 'Yes, Ubayy bin Ka'b.' He said: 'He is of good character.' He said: 'O Abū Aṭ-Ṭufail, what does this one say?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say that, O son of Al-Khaṭṭāb, so do not punish the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' He said: 'Subhān Allāh, I heard something and I wanted to be sure of it.'"

37 - (2154) حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَ أَبُو مُوسَى إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا أَبُو مُوسَى، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا مُوسَى مَا رَدَّكَ؟ كُنَّا فِي شُغْلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الِاسْتِئْذَانُ ثَلَاثٌ، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَكَ، وَإِلَّا فَارْجِعْ» قَالَ: لَتَأْتِيَنِّي عَلَى هَذَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ، وَإِلَّا فَعَلْتُ وَفَعَلْتُ، فَذَهَبَ أَبُو مُوسَى. قَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنْ وَجَدَ بَيِّنَةً تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ عَشِيَّةً، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ بَيِّنَةً فَلَمْ تَجِدُوهُ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَجَدُوهُ، قَالَ: يَا أَبَا مُوسَى، مَا تَقُولُ؟ أَقَدْ وَجَدْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: عَدْلٌ، قَالَ: يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ عَذَابًا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا سَمِعْتُ شَيْئًا، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَتَثَبَّتَ.
