The Etiquette of Seeking Permission

SUMMARY: Seeking permission should be done three times, and if it is not granted then one should leave.

Narrated Abu Sa'eed: "Abu Musa sought permission to enter upon 'Umar. He said: 'As-Salamu 'Alaykum (Peace be upon you). May I enter?' 'Umar said: 'Once'. Then he was silent for some time. Then he said: 'As-Salamu 'Alaykum (Peace be upon you). May I enter?' 'Umar said: Twice'. Then he was silent for some time. Then he said: 'As-salamu 'Alaykum (Peace be upon you). May I enter?' 'Umar said: 'Three times'. Then he (Abu Musa) left'.Umar said to the gate-keeper: 'What did he do?' He replied: 'He left". He said: 'Bring him to me'. So when he came, 'Umar said to him: 'What is this that you have done?' He said: 'The Sunnah'. He said: 'The Sunnah? By Allah! You had better bring me proof or a witness to clarify this, or I will do this or that to you'." He said "So he came to us while we were sitting with Ansar. He said: 'O People of the Ansar! Are you not the most knowledgeable people about the Ahadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not say: "Seeking permission is to be done three time. Either you are permitted, or other wise leave?" The people began joking. Abu Sa'eed said: "Then I raised my head toward him and said: "Whatever punishment you are afflicted with because of this, then I shall be your partner in it". So he went to 'Umar to inform him him about it, and 'Umar said: "I did not know about about this".
