I, II or III? (Hadith No. 94)

Salam,
Bismillah.

Doing something once is not enough sometimes. Repetition is needed. Question: how many times can one repeat an act? Once, twice or thrice? Let’s see Prophet (SAW)’s way..

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 94:

Narrated Anas:

Whenever the Prophet asked permission to enter, he knocked the door thrice with greeting and whenever he spoke a sentence (said a thing) he used to repeat it thrice.

P.S.: he didn’t repeat every sentence thrice. It’s just that, when he used to repeat, he used to say it thrice.

Lesson: 3 is your lucky number! :)

Wassalam!
