حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَی اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَی عُمَرَ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَانْصَرَفَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ مَا رَدَّکَ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ الِاسْتِئْذَانَ الَّذِي أَمَرَنَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَنَا دَخَلْنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَنَا رَجَعْنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَتَأْتِيَنِّي عَلَی هَذَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ أَوْ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ فَأَتَی مَجْلِسَ قَوْمِهِ فَنَاشَدَهُمْ فَشَهِدُوا لَهُ فَخَلَّی سَبِيلَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3706
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that Abu Musa asked permission to enter upon 'Urnar three limes, and he did not give him permission, so he went away. 'Umar sent word to him saying: "Why did you go back?" He said: "I asked permission to enter three times as the Messenger of Allah(saw) enjoined upon us, then if we are given permission we should enter, otherwise we should go back. He said, “You should bring me proof of that, or else!” Then he came to a gathering of his people and asked them to swear by .AlIah. concerning that, and they did so, so he let him go. (Sahih)
