Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1073

Translation

✧ He reported to him from Abu Musa: I asked permission to enter upon Umar three times, and permission was not granted to me, so I turned away. He sent after me and said, "O servant of Allah, is it hard on you that you should be stopped at my door? Know that people are like that, it is hard on them to be stopped at your door." I said, "Rather I asked permission to enter upon you three times, and permission was not granted to me, so I returned." He said, "From whom did you hear this?" I said, "I heard it from the Prophet ﷺ." He said, "Did you hear from the Prophet ﷺ what we did not hear? If you do not bring me clear proof of this, I will make an example of you." So I went out until I came to a group of the Ansar sitting in the mosque, and I asked them. They said, "Does anyone doubt this?" I told them what Umar had said. They said, "No one will stand with you except the youngest of us." So Abu Sa'id al-Khudri or Abu Mas'ud stood up with me and went to Umar. He said, "We went out with the Prophet ﷺ while he was going to Sa'd b. Ubadah until he came to him. He greeted, but permission was not granted to him. Then he greeted a second time, then a third time, but permission was not granted to him. He said, 'We have fulfilled what was due from us.' Then he returned. Sa'd caught up with him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, you did not greet once except that I heard and answered you, but I preferred that you should give many greetings of peace upon me and upon my household.'" Abu Musa said, "By Allah, I was trustworthy in transmitting the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Yes, but I wished to ascertain."
