Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1073
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي ثَلاَثًا، فَأَدْبَرْتُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُحْتَبَسَ عَلَى بَابِي؟ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَذَلِكَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُحْتَبَسُوا عَلَى بَابِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: بَلِ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْكَ ثَلاَثًا، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي، فَرَجَعْتُ، فَقَالَ: مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ: سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: أَسَمِعْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا لَمْ نَسْمَعْ؟ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَأْتِنِي عَلَى هَذَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ نَكَالاً، فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ نَفَرًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جُلُوسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: أَوَيَشُكُّ فِي هَذَا أَحَدٌ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالُوا: لاَ يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلاَّ أَصْغَرُنَا، فَقَامَ مَعِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَوْ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ، إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ، حَتَّى أَتَاهُ فَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ الثَّانِيَةَ، ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: قَضَيْنَا مَا عَلَيْنَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَأَدْرَكَهُ سَعْدٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا سَلَّمْتَ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، وَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ، وَلَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُكْثِرَ مِنَ السَّلاَمِ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَمِينًا عَلَى حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: أَجَلْ، وَلَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَثْبِتَ.

Ubayd ibn Umayr reported that Abu Musa said: I sought permission to enter upon Umar three times, but he did not admit me, so I turned away. Umar sent for me and said, “Abdullah, was it hard for you to be kept waiting at my door? Know that people likewise find it hard to be kept waiting at your door.” I said, “Rather, I sought permission from you three times, and I was not admitted, so I went back.” He asked, “From whom did you hear this?” I said, “I heard it from the Prophet ﷺ.” Umar said, “Did you hear something from the Prophet ﷺ that we did not hear? If you do not bring me proof of this, I will make an example of you.” I went out and came upon a group of the Ansar sitting in the mosque and asked them. They said, “Would anyone doubt this?” I told them what Umar had said. They replied, “Only the youngest among us will stand with you.” Abu Said al-Khudri—or Abu Masud—went with me to Umar. He said: We went out with the Prophet ﷺ as he was heading to visit Sad ibn Ubada. When he reached him, he greeted him, but was not admitted. He greeted him a second time, then a third time, but was not admitted. He said, “We have done what was required of us,” and turned back. Sad caught up with him and said, “Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, every time you greeted me I heard you and returned your greeting. But I wanted you to increase the greetings of peace for me and my household.” Abu Musa said, “By Allah, I am trustworthy in transmitting the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” Umar replied, “Yes, but I wanted to verify it.”

The source itself is uncertain whether the youngest witness was Abu Said al-Khudri or Abu Masud.
أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ
The Arabic names Ubayd ibn Umayr, not Ubayd ibn Hunayn.
Should the witness’s transmitter name be corrected?
