Seeking permission thrice

Could you cite the Hadith regarding seeking permission thrice before entering times. If no permission is granted the person should return.

Answer:

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Al Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“…When one of you seeks permission to enter thrice and permission is not granted, he should return..”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6245 and Sahih Muslim, 2153)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
