and so I came back Thereupon he ('Umar) said: What stood in

not given any response, so I came back as the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) has said: When any one of you
seeks permission three times and he i. e not granted
permission, he should come back. Umar said: Bring a witness to
support that you say, otherwise I shall take you to task.

otherwise (I shall give you such a severe punishment) that it
will serve as an example to others. Abu Sa'id said: Then he
(Abu Musa) came to us and said: Do you remember Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said this:"
Permission is for three times"? They (Companions sitting in
that cothpany) began to laugh, whereupon he (Abu Musa) said:
There comes to you your Muslim brother who had been perturbed
