Chapter 42 · The Book of Manners and Etiquetteحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ أَنَّ بُسْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ كُنَّا فِي مَجْلِسٍ عِنْدَ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَأَتَى أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ مُغْضَبًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمْ اللَّهَ هَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الِاسْتِئْذَانُ ثَلَاثٌ فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَكَ وَإِلَّا فَارْجِعْ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَمْسِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ الْيَوْمَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنِّي جِئْتُ أَمْسِ فَسَلَّمْتُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ قَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ وَنَحْنُ حِينَئِذٍ عَلَى شُغْلٍ فَلَوْ مَا اسْتَأْذَنْتَ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ كَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأُوجِعَنَّ ظَهْرَكَ وَبَطْنَكَ أَوْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّ بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا أَحْدَثُنَا سِنًّا قُمْ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ هَذَا.

We were in the company of Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ that Abu Musa Ash'ari رضی اللہ عنہ came there in a state of anger. He stood (before us) and said: I ask you to bear witness in the name of Allah whether anyone amongst you heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Permission (for entering the house) should be sought three times and if permission is granted to you (then get in). otherwise go back. Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ said: What is the matter? He said: I sought permission yesterday from 'Umar bin Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ three times but he did not permit me, so I came back; then I went to him today and visited him and informed him that I had come to him yesterday and greeted him thrice, then came back, whereupon he said: Yes, we did hear you but be were at that time busy, but why did you not seek permission (further and you must have never gone back until you were permitted to do so). He said: I sought permission (in the manner) that I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having said (in connection 'With the seeking of permission for entering the house of a stranger). Thereupon he (Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ عنہ) said: By Allah, I shall torture your back and your stomach unless you bring one who may bear witness to what you state. 'Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ said: By Allah, none should stand with you (to bear testimony) but the youngest amongst us. And he therefore, said to Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ : Stand up. So I stood up until I came to Umar رضی اللہ عنہ and said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say this.
