I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and called him (with a view to seeking permission). whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Who is it? I said: It is I. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) came out saying: It is I. it is I.  

مسلم:٢١٥٥aحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَوْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ هَذَا قُلْتُ أَنَا قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَنَا

I sought permission from Messenger of Allah (may peace be upoh him) to see him. He said: Who is it? I said: It is I. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is I. it is I (these words lead me to no conclusion).  

مسلم:٢١٥٥bحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا فَقُلْتُ أَنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنَا أَنَا

The Prophet ﷺ uttered these words: It is I. it is I." in the manner as if he disapproved of this.  

مسلم:٢١٥٥cوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ كُلُّهُمْ

عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ
