حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ کُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَائَ أَبُو مُوسَی فَزِعًا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ مَا أَفْزَعَکَ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي عُمَرُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَکَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي قُلْتُ قَدْ جِئْتُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدُکُمْ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ قَالَ لَتَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَی هَذَا بِالْبَيِّنَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ لَا يَقُومُ مَعَکَ إِلَّا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ فَقَامَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَعَهُ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5180
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: I was sitting in one of the meeting of the Ansar. Abu Musa came terrified. We asked him; what makes you terrified? He replied: Umar sent for me; so I went to him and asked his permission three times, but he did not permit me (to enter), so I came back. He asked; what has prevented you from coming to me? I replied: I came and asked permission three times, but it was not granted to me (so I returned). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: When one of you asks permission three times and it is not granted to him, he should go away. He (Umar’) said; establish the proof of it. So Abu Saeed said: the youngest of the people will accompany you. So Abu Saeed got up with him and testified.
