It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying down in his house with his blessed thighs, or his shins, uncovered. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission to come in, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission while in that same state, and he talked. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission too while in that same state, and he also talked. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat up and arranged his clothing. (The narrator of the hadith, Muhammad bin Abi Harmalah (may Allah have mercy on him), said: I do not say that all of this happened on a single day.) Then he came in and talked. When he left, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came in and you neither sat up nor paid him any particular attention; then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came in and you made no special effort for him either; but when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, you sat up and arranged your clothes? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Should I not feel modesty before a man before whom even the angels feel modesty?"
