Abd Said Khudri reported: We were in the company of Ubayy bin Kab that Abu Musa Ashari came there in a state of anger. He stood (before us) and said: I ask you to bear witness in the name of Allah whether anyone amongst you heard Allahs Messenger ﷺ as saying: Permission (for entering the house) should be sought three times and if permission is granted to you (then get in), otherwise go back. Ubayy bin Kab said: What is the matter? He said: I sought permission yesterday from Umar bin Khattab three times but he did not permit me, so I came back; then I went to him today and visited him and informed him that I had come to him yesterday and greeted him thrice, then came back, whereupon he said: Yes, we did hear you but be were at that time busy, but why did you not seek permission (further and you must have never gone back until you were permitted to do so). He said: I sought permission (in the manner) that I heard Allahs Messenger ﷺ having said (in connection With the seeking of permission for entering the house of a stranger). Thereupon he (Hadrat Umar) said: By Allah, I shall torture your back and your stomach unless you bring one who may bear witness to what you state. Ubayy bin Kab said: By Allah, none should stand with you (to bear testimony) but the youngest amongst us. And he therefore, said to Abu Said: Stand up. So I stood up until I came to Umar and said: I heard Allahs Messenger ﷺ say this.
