باب كَرَاهَةِ قَوْلِ الْمُسْتَأْذِنِ أَنَا ‏إِذَا قِيلَ مَنْ هَذَا ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2155c
وَحَدَّثَنَا 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 ‏.‏
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Shu'ba with a slight variation of wording and that is:

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