Arabic text

٢٧٢٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ سَلَّمَ ثَلَاثًا،» وَإِذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ أَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ، إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى.

Commentary

Saying the Salām three times is a Salām for seeking permission, when he ﷺ would ask someone's permission and he could not hear the Salām the first time, or he did not answer for some reason, he ﷺ would then say the Salām a second time, in case of not getting an answer for the second time, he would say the Salām third time, if still there was no answer he would go back and he did not say the Salām more than that.
