Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5494 — Sayyiduna Abu Bakr asked the Prophet ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، لَابِسٌ مِرْطَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَلَسَ فَجَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ، فَقَضَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتِي، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَكَ لَمْ تَفْزَعْ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ كَمَا فَزِعْتَ لِعُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عُثْمَانُ رَجُلٌ حَيِيٌّ، وَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ وَأَنَا عَلَى حَالَتِي تِلْكَ أَنْ لَا يَبْلُغَ فِي حَاجَتَهِ»
Yahya bin Sa'id bin al-As narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to enter while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying on his bed, wearing the wrap of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) permission in that same state; he attended to his need and then left. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for permission, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission too in that same state; he attended to his need and then left. Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I asked for permission, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat up and gathered his clothes about him. I attended to my need, then I left. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah, why were you not as careful for Abu Bakr and Umar as you were for Uthman?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Uthman is a modest man, and I feared that if I gave him permission while I was in that state, he would not be able to state his need fully."
