Chapter: How many times should one say salam when seeking permission to enter.
Hadith 5184
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مَنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ فِي هَذَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِأَبِي مُوسَى : أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَتَّهِمْكَ ، وَلَكِنْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَتَقَوَّلَ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Musa through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner. This version has: Umar said to Abd Musa: I do not blame you, but I am afraid that the people may talk carelessly about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
