حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَاللَّهِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَجْلِسِ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَأَتَانَا أَبُو مُوسَى فَزِعًا أَوْ مَذْعُورًا ، قُلْنَا مَا شَأْنُكَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بَابَهُ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَرَجَعْتُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَى بَابِكَ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَيَّ ، فَرَجَعْتُ ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ " ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةَ وَإِلَّا أَوْجَعْتُكَ ، فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ : لَا يَقُومُ مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : قُلْتُ : أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ ، قَالَ : فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ .
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported: I was sitting in Madinah in the company of the Ansar that Abu Musa came trembling with fear. We said to him: What is the matter? He said: 'Umar (RA) sent for me. I went to him and paid him salutation thrice at (his) door but he made no response to me and so I came back. Thereupon he ('Umar) said: What stood in your way that you did not turn up? I said: I did come to you and paid you salutations at your door three times but I was not given any response, so I came back as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has said: When any one of you seeks permission three times and he was not granted permission, he should come back. Umar said: Bring a witness to support that you say, otherwise I shall take you to task. Ubayy bin Ka'b said: None should stand with him (as a witness) but the youngest amongst the people. Abu Sa'id said: I am the youngest amongst the people, whereupon he said: Then you go with him (to support his contention).
