Hadith 19556

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لِيَسْتَأْذِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَلَاثًا ، فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَهُ ، وَإِلَّا فَلْيَرْجِعْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: You should seek permission three times; if it is granted, that is very good, and if any one of you has sought permission three times and does not receive a reply, then he should return.
