[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times for permission, but he did not grant us permission. So we said, "Indeed, our land is a cold land." We asked him for permission in matters of purification, but he did not grant us permission. We asked him to allow us to use the wild animals for hunting, but he did not grant us permission for one hour. And we asked him to send Abu Bakrah back to us, but he refused and said, "He is the emancipated slave of Allah and the emancipated slave of His Messenger." Abu Bakrah had gone to the Prophet ﷺ when he was besieging Ta'if, and he accepted Islam.  

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فَقُلْنَا إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ بَارِدَةٌ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الطُّهُورِ فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَنَا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَنَا فِيهِ سَاعَةً وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ فَأَبَى وَقَالَ هُوَ طَلِيقُ اللهِ وَطَلِيقُ رَسُولِهِ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ حَاصَرَ الطَّائِفَ فَأَسْلَمَ  

This tradition has also been narrated on the authority of ‘A’ishah through a different chain. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 99)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ
