أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مُوسَى ، " أَنَّهُ أَتَى عُمَرَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثًا ، فَقَالَ : يَسْتَأْذِنُ أَبُو مُوسَى ، يَسْتَأْذِنُ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ ، يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَرَجَعَ ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ : مَا رَدَّكَ ؟ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَسْتَأْذِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلَاثًا ، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَهُ ، وَإِلَّا فَلْيَرْجِعْ , قال : ائْتِنِي بِبَيِّنَةٍ عَلَى هَذَا ، فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا
أُبَيٌّ ، فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ : يَا عُمَرُ ، لَا تَكُنْ عَذَابًا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : لَا أَكُونُ عَذَابًا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Abu Musa said that he came to Umar and asked permission three times saying: Abu Musa asks permission, al-Ash’ari ask permission, and Abdullah bin Qais asks permission, but it was not granted to him. So he went away and Umar sent for him saying: what did you return? He replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you asks permission three times and it is not granted to him, he should go away. He said: Establish the proof of it. He went, came back, and said; This is Ubayy. Ubayy said: Umar, do not be an agony for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Umar said: I shall not be an agony for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
