2691. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated that ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: “I sought permission (to enter) from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ three times, then he permitted me.” (Sahih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Abū Zumail’s (a
narrator) name is Simāk Al-Ḥanāfī. To us, 'Umar only rebuked Abū Mūsā, when he reported (from the Prophet ﷺ) that he ﷺ said: "Seeking permission is to be done three times. Either you are permitted, or otherwise leave," for 'Umar had sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ three times, and he admitted him, and he did not know about what Abū Mūsā narrated from the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Either you are permitted, or otherwise leave."

Commentary
'Umar ﷺ, following his own incident, wanted to grant him permission after the third time but he went back; the incident of 'Umar is of the time when the Prophet ﷺ had Iylā with his wives, and he ﷺ stayed on his own on the balcony.
