Asking permission to enter

Adab Al-Mufrad 43.1
Anas said that he was ten years old when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina. He said, "My mothers
decided that I would serve him and I served him for ten years. He died
when I was twenty. I am the person who knows best about the business of
the veil. The first instance that was revealed occurred when the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, built a room for Zaynab
bint Jahsh. He celebrated the wedding there, invited the people who came,
ate and then left. A group remained with the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. They stayed for a long time and then the Prophet went
out and I went out hoping that they would leave. He walked and I walked
with him until he came to the threshold of 'A'isha's room. Then, thinking
that they would have left, he returned and I returned with him. He went
to Zaynab but they were still sitting there. He left again and I left with
him until he once more reached the threshold of 'A'isha's room. When he
thought that they would have gone, he went back again and I went back with
him. This time they had indeed left. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, then put up a curtain between me and him, and the veil
was revealed."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسٌ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ ابْنَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ مَقْدَمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ، فَكُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِي يُوَطِّوَنَّنِي عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ، فَخَدَمْتُهُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، وَتُوُفِّيَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ، فَكُنْتُ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِشَأْنِ الْحِجَابِ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا نَزَلَ مَا ابْتَنَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، أَصْبَحَ بِهَا عَرُوسًا، فَدَعَى الْقَوْمَ فَأَصَابُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، وَبَقِيَ رَهْطٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَطَالُوا الْمُكْثَ، فَقَامَ فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْتُ لِكَيْ يَخْرُجُوا، فَمَشَى فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ، حَتَّى جَاءَ عَتَبَةَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ، ثُمَّ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ، فَإِذَا هُمْ جُلُوسٌ، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عَتَبَةَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا، فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ السِّتْرَ، وَأَنْزَلَ الْحِجَابَ‏.‏

Tha'laba ibn Abi Malik al-Qurazi reported that he rode to 'Abdullah
ibn Suwayd, one of the Banu Haritha ibn al-Harith, to ask him about the
three times of nakedness. 'Abdullah used to observe these times. Tha'laba
said, "'Abdullah asked, 'What do you want?' I replied, 'I want to observe
them.' He said, 'When I take off my garment at midday, none of my family
who have reached puberty comes to me without my permission unless I call
them. Nor do they do that when it is Fajr until people know that I have
prayed, nor when I have prayed 'Isha' and removed my clothes so that I
can sleep.'"

that he was busy. Abu Musa came back and 'Umar had finished. He said, "Didn't
I hear the voice of 'Abdullah ibn Qays? Give him permission to enter."
He was told, "He has gone away," so he sent after him. Abu Musa said, "We
were commanded to behave like that (i.e. to go away after having asked
permission to enter three times)." 'Umar said, "Bring me a clear proof
of it." He then went to the gathering of the Ansar and questioned them.
They said, "Only the youngest of us will attest to that - Abu Sa'id
al-Khudri." He went with Abu Sa'id. 'Umar said, "Is something of what the
may Allah bless him and grant him peace,, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, commanded hidden from me? Doing business in the markets distracted
me," i.e. going out to trade.

Adab Al-Mufrad 43.23
'Ubayd ibn Hunayn related to him that Abu Musa said, "I asked
permission three times to come in to 'Umar, but he did not give me permission
and so I went away. He said, ''Abdullah, is it hard on you to be kept waiting
at your door.' I said, 'I asked permission from you three times and you
did not give me permission, so I went away (and we were commanded to do
that).' 'Umar said, 'From whom did you hear this?' I replied, 'I heard
it from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' 'Umar said,
'Did you hear something from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, which I did not hear? If you do not bring me a clear proof,
I will make an example of you!' Therefore I went to a group of Ansar who
were sitting in the mosque. I asked them and they said, 'Does anyone doubt
this?' I told them what 'Umar had said. They said, 'Only the youngest of
us will go with you.' So Abu Sa'id al-Khudri - or Abu Mas'ud -
went with me to 'Umar. He said, 'We went out with the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, when he was going to Sa'd ibn 'Ubada. He
gave the greeting, but Sa'd did not give permission. Then he greeted him
a second time and then a third time, but Sa'd did not give him permission.
So the Prophet said, 'We have done what we must.' Then he went back and
Sa'd caught up to him and said, 'Messenger of Allah! By the One who sent
you with the Truth, every time you greeted me, I heard and answered you,
but I wanted to have a lot of greeting (peace) from you for me and the
people of my house.'" Abu Musa said, "By Allah, I am a guardian of the
hadith of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
'Umar said, "Yes, but I wanted to make sure."
