٢٧٦٤٧ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا داود (عن) (١) أبي (٢) نضرة عن ⦗٣١٣⦘ أبي سعيد أن أبا موسى استأذن على عمر ثلاثًا فلم يأذن له، قال: فانصرف فأرسل إليه عمر: ما ردك؟ قال: استأذنت الاستئذان الذي أمرنا به رسول اللَّه ﷺ، ثلاثًا فإن أذن لنا دخلنا وإن لم يؤذن لنا رجعنا، قال: (لتأتيني) (٣) على هذا ببينة (أو) (٤) لأفعلن وأفعلن، فأتى مجلس قومه فناشدهم، فشهدوا له، فخلى عنه (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) three times, and he did not give him permission, so he went back. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a messenger to summon him and asked: "What made you turn back?" He said: "I asked permission three times, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us: if we are given permission we enter, and if we are not given permission we go back." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Bring some testimony for this, or else I will do such and such (I will punish you)." So he came to a gathering of people and put them under oath about the matter, and they testified in his favor. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) let him go.
٢٧٦٤٨ - حدثنا حفص بن غياث عن عمرو عن الحسن قال: قال علي: الأولى (إذن) (١)، والثانية مؤامرة، والثالثة عزمة، إما أن يؤذنوا وإما أن يردوا (٢).
Al-Hasan al-Basri reports that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The first time is permission, the second time is consultation, and the third time is firm resolve: either they give permission or they turn you back.
٢٧٦٤٩ - حدثنا إسحاق الأزرق عن هشام عن الحسن قال: الاستئذان ثلاث، فإن أذن لك، وإلا فارجع.
