Narrater: (Ubai bin Umar) Hadidth No: (277)

Abu Musa asked Umar to admit him but he was not admitted as Umar was busy, so Abu Musa went back. When Umar finished his job he said, ''Didn't I hear the voice of Abdullah bin Qais? Let him come in.'' Umar was told that he had left. So, he sent for him and on his arrival, he (Abu Musa) said, ''We were ordered to do so (i.e. to leave if not admitted after asking permission thrice). Umar told him, ''Bring witness in proof of your statement.'' Abu Musa went to the Ansar's meeting places and asked them. They said, ''None amongst us will give this witness except the youngest of us, Abu Said Al-Khudri. Abu Musa then took Abu Said Al-Khudri (to Umar) and Umar said, surprisingly, ''Has this order of Allah's Apostle been hidden from me?'' (Then he added), ''I used to be busy trading in markets.''
