يَحْيى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، أَنَّ
سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ
عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ،
وَعُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ، لَابِسٌ مِرْطَ عَائِشَةَ ، فَأَذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ ، فَقَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ ، فَقَضَى إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَجَلَسَ ، وَقَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ : " اجْمَعِي عَلَيْكِ ثِيَابَكِ " فَقَضَيتُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَتَي ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ . فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا لِي لَمْ أَرَكَ فَزِعْتَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ كَمَا فَزِعْتَ لِعُثْمَانَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ
عُثْمَانَ رَجُلٌ حَيِيٌّ ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ إِنْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ ، أَنْ لَا يَبْلُغَ إِلَيَّ فِي حَاجَتِهِ " . قَالَ لَيْثٌ : وَقَالَ جَمَاعَةُ النَّاسِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ : " أَلَا أَسْتَحِي مِمَّنْ تَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ؟ ! " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in such a way that the cloth had slipped from his blessed thigh. In the meantime, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission and remained seated in the same state. Then Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission and remained seated in the same state. Then Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) covered himself with the cloth and also told Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to gather the cloth. When those people left, I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr and Umar sought permission from you, and you granted them permission and remained seated in the same state, but when Uthman sought permission, you covered yourself with the cloth?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! Should I not show modesty before the one, by Allah, before whom even the angels show modesty?"
