Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14504

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting, and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was sitting behind him. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission to enter and came in. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission and came in. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission and came in. Then Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission and came in. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission and came in. Before this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been talking with the garment moved off his knees, but when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew the garment over his knees and said to his wife: Get up and move away from me! They talked for a while and then left. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Your Companions came to you, yet you did not adjust your garment and did not move me away from you, until Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and then you did so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Should I not feel shy before one before whom the angels feel shy? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the angels feel shy before Uthman just as they feel shy before Allah and His Messenger. Had he come in while you were sitting close to me, he would not have raised his head or spoken a word until he left.
Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ibrahim bin Umar bin Aban, who is da'if (weak).
