Hadith 12251
عَنْ سَالِمِ ابْنِ أَبِي جَمِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ وَذَكَرَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَشِدَّةَ حَيَائِهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَكُونُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْبَابُ عَلَيْهِ مُغْلَقٌ فَمَا يَضَعُ عَنْهُ الثَّوْبَ لِيُفِيضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ يَمْنَعُهُ الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ صُلْبَهُ
Abu Jamee’ narrates from Salim, he says: Hasan mentioned Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and his intense modesty, and said: He would be at home with the door closed, yet even then he would not remove his clothes to pour water over himself, and due to his modesty he could not straighten his back.
Hadith 12252
عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى يَقُولُ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ جَارِيَةٌ تَضْرِبُ بِالدُّفِّ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَأَمْسَكَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ رَجُلٌ حَيِيٌّ“
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that a girl was playing the duff in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter, and he entered. After him, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter, and he also entered. After them, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter, so the girl stopped playing the duff. Seeing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Uthman is a modest man."
Hadith 12253
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ لَابِسٌ مِرْطَ عَائِشَةَ فَأَذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ فَقَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَجَلَسَ وَقَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ”اجْمَعِي عَلَيْكِ ثِيَابَكِ“ فَقَضَى إِلَيَّ حَاجَتِي ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي لَمْ أَرَكَ فَزِعْتَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَمَا فَزِعْتَ لِعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ رَجُلٌ حَيِيٌّ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ إِنْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ أَنْ لَا يَبْلُغَ إِلَيَّ فِي حَاجَتِهِ“ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَقَالَ جَمَاعَةُ النَّاسِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ”أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِمَّنْ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Saeed bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying on his bed, covered with the sheet of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and in that state, he allowed Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to enter and fulfilled his need. After he left, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter; he was granted permission while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in the same state, fulfilled his need, and he left. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sought permission to enter. This time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat up straight and said to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "You too, gather your clothes properly around yourself." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fulfilled my need and I left. Seeing this difference, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the reason that you did not make such an arrangement upon the arrival of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as you did upon the arrival of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) is a man of great modesty and shyness. If I had allowed him to enter in that state, I feared that he would not be able to state the purpose of his visit." The narrator of the hadith, Laith, says: A group of scholars have narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "Should I not show modesty before a man before whom even the angels of Allah show modesty?"
Hadith 12254
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ جَالِسًا كَاشِفًا عَنْ فَخِذِهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَرْخَى عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ فَلَمَّا قَامُوا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَأَذِنْتَ لَهُمَا وَأَنْتَ عَلَى حَالِكَ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ أَرْخَيْتَ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَابَكَ فَقَالَ ”يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting and his thigh was uncovered. In the meantime, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. He was granted permission and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained seated in the same manner. After him, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. He too was granted permission and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained seated in the same manner. After them, when Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) covered himself with his garment. When all the people had left, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to be present before you and you allowed them to enter while you remained in the same state, but when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter, you covered yourself with your garment. What is the reason for this difference? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Should I not show modesty before a man, by Allah! before whom even the angels show modesty.
Hadith 12255
عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ وَجَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ وَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَتَجَلَّلَ ثَوْبَهُ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لَهُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِكَ لَمْ تَتَحَرَّكْ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ تَجَلَّلْتَ ثَوْبَكَ فَقَالَ ”أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِمَّنْ تَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ“
It is narrated from Sayyida Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me one day and placed his garment between his thighs. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and sought permission to enter; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission and remained seated in the same state. After him, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sought permission to enter; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also granted him permission and remained seated in the same state. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and sought permission to enter; he too was granted permission, and the Messenger of Allah remained seated in the same state. Then some other companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sought permission to enter; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them permission as well, while he remained in the same state. After them, when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and sought permission to enter, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged and adjusted his clothes and then granted Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) permission to enter. They conversed for a while, and after they got up and left, I (Aisha) said: O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Ali, and other companions came to you, but you did not move and remained seated in the same state. But when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, you arranged and adjusted your clothes. What is the reason for this difference? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Should I not show modesty to a person before whom even the angels feel shy?
