malik:54-2Mālik > al-Thiqah ʿIndah > Bukayr b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ashaj > Busr b. Saʿīd > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī > Abū Mūsá al-Ashʿarī

Malik related to me from a reliable source of his from Bukayr ibn Abdullah ibn al-Ashajj from Basr ibn Said from Abu Said al-Khudri that Abu Musa al-Ashari said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'One asks permission three times. If you are given permission, then enter. If not, go away.' "  

مالك:٥٤-٢وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنِ الثِّقَةِ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الاِسْتِئْذَانُ ثَلاَثٌ فَإِنْ أُذِنَ لَكَ فَادْخُلْ وَإِلاَّ فَارْجِعْ
