Abu Musa al-Ash'ari رضی اللہ عنہ came to the door of 'Umar and sought his permission (to get into his house). Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: That is once. He again sought permission for the second time and 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: It is twice. He again sought permission for the third time and Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: It is thrice. He (Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ ) then went back. He (Hadrat 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ ) (sent someone) to pursue him so that he should be brought back. Thereupon he (Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: If this act (of yours is in accordance with the command of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) you have preserved in your mind, then it is all right, otherwise (I shall give you such a severe punishment) that it will serve as an example to others. Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ said: Then he (Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ ) came to us and said: Do you remember Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having said this: Permission is for three times ? They (Companions sitting in that company) began to laugh, whereupon he (Abu Musa) said: There comes to you your Muslim brother who had been perturbed and you laugh. Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ said: (Well), you go forth. I shall be your participant in this trouble of yours. So he came to him (Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ عنہ ) and said: Here is Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ (to support my statement).
