Hadith 5180
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَزِعًا ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ : مَا أَفْزَعَكَ ؟ قَالَ : " أَمَرَنِي عُمَرُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي ؟ قُلْتُ : قَدْ جِئْتُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي ، وَقَدْ قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ , قال : لَتَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى هَذَا بِالْبَيِّنَةِ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : لَا يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَعَهُ ، فَشَهِدَ لَهُ .
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: I was sitting in one of the meeting of the Ansar. Abu Musa came terrified. We asked him; what makes you terrified? He replied: Umar sent for me; so I went to him and asked his permission three times, but he did not permit me (to enter), so I came back. He asked; what has prevented you from coming to me? I replied: I came and asked permission three times, but it was not granted to me (so I returned). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: When one of you asks permission three times and it is not granted to him, he should go away. He (Umar’) said; establish the proof of it. So Abu Saeed said: the youngest of the people will accompany you. So Abu Saeed got up with him and testified.
Hadith 5181
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ 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.
Hadith 5182
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ ، قَالَ فِيهِ : فَانْطَلَقَ بأَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَخَفِيَ عَلَيَّ هَذَا مِنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَلْهَانِي السَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَكِنْ سَلِّمْ مَا شِئْتَ ، وَلَا تَسْتَأْذِنْ .
Ubaid bin Umair said: Abu Musa asked Umar for permission to enter the house. This version has: he went with Abu sa’ld who testified to it. He said Did this practice of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remain hidden from me? My engagement in the transaction in the market made me oblivious of it. Now give me salutation as you wish; and do not ask permission.
Hadith 5183
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقَاهِرِ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى , عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِأَبِي مُوسَى : إِنِّي لَمْ أَتَّهِمْكَ وَلَكِنَّ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَدِيدٌ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Musa in a similar way through a different chain of narrators. This version has: Umar said to Abu Musa: I do not blame you, but the matter of transmitting a tradition from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is serious.
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.
Hadith 5185
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " زَارَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَنْزِلِنَا ، فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ , فَرَدَّ سَعْدٌ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا ، قَالَ قَيْسٌ : فَقُلْتُ : أَلَا تَأْذَنُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ , فَقَالَ ذَرْهُ : يُكْثِرُ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلَامِ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّلَامُ : عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ، فَرَدَّ سَعْدُ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاتَّبَعَهُ سَعْدٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ تَسْلِيمَكَ وَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا لِتُكْثِرَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلَامِ , قال : فَانْصَرَفَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ بِغُسْلٍ ، فَاغْتَسَلَ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ مِلْحَفَةً مَصْبُوغَةً بِزَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ وَرْسٍ ، فَاشْتَمَلَ بِهَا ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ عَلَى آلِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ , قال : ثُمَّ أَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ قَرَّبَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ حِمَارًا قَدْ وَطَّأَ عَلَيْهِ بِقَطِيفَةٍ ، فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ : يَا قَيْسُ اصْحَبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ قَيْسٌ : فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ارْكَبْ فَأَبَيْتُ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِمَّا أَنْ تَرْكَبَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ ، قَالَ : فَانْصَرَفْتُ " , قال هِشَامٌ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ : عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : رَوَاهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ ، وَابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ مُرْسَلًا ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ .
Narrated Qays ibn Saad: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit us in our house, and said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Saad returned the greeting in a lower tone. Qays said: I said: Do you not grant permission to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to enter? He said: Leave him, he will give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Saad again responded in a lower tone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went away. Saad went after him and said: Messenger of Allah! I heard your greetings and responded in a lower tone so that you might give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned with him. Saad then offered to prepare bath-water for him, and he took a bath. He then gave him a long wrapper dyed with saffron or wars and he wrapped himself in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then raised his hands and said: O Allah, bestow Thy blessings and mercy on the family of Saad ibn Ubadah! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then shared their meals. When he intended to return, Saad brought near him an ass which was covered with a blanket. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted it. Saad said: O Qays, accompany the Messenger of Allah. Qays said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Ride. But I refused. He again said: Either ride or go away. He said: So I went away. Hisham said: Abu Marwan (transmitted) from Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Asad ibn Zurarah. Abu Dawud said: Umar bin Abd al-Wahid and Ibn Samaah transmitted it from al-Awzai' in mursal form (the ling of the Companion being missing), and they did not mention Qais bin Saad.
Hadith 5186
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ , فِي آخَرِينَ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَى بَابَ قَوْمٍ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْبَابَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ وَجْهِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَيَقُولُ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الدُّورَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ سُتُورٌ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Busr: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to some people's door, he did not face it squarely, but faced the right or left corner, and said: Peace be upon you! peace be upon you! That was because there were no curtains on the doors of the house at that time.
