Hadith Number: 6069
(6) باب مناقب عثمان رضي الله عنه الفصل الاول 6069 - عن عائشة - رضي الله عنها - قالت: كان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - مضطجعا في بيته، كاشفا عن فخذيه - او ساقيه - فاستاذن ابو بكر، فاذن له وهو على تلك الحال، فتحدث، ثم استاذن عمر، فاذن له وهو كذلك، فتحدث، ثم استاذن عثمان فجلس رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وسوى ثيابه، فلما خرج قالت عائشة: دخل ابو بكر فلم تهتش له ولم تباله، ثم دخل عمر فلم تهتش له ولم تباله، ثم دخل عثمان فجلست وسويت ثيابك فقال: (الا استحيي من رجل تستحيي منه الملائكة؟). وفي رواية قال: (إن عثمان رجل حيي، وإني خشيت إن اذنت له على تلك الحالة ان لا يبلغ إلي في حاجته. رواه مسلم.
`A'isha said: God's messenger was lying in his house with his thighs, or his legs, uncovered when Abu Bakr asked permission to enter and he gave him permission while he was in that condition and he conversed. `Umar asked permission to enter and he gave him permission while he was like that and he conversed. Then `Uthman asked permission to enter and God's messenger sat up and arranged his clothing. When he went out 'A'isha said, "Abu Bakr entered and you did not stir for him or worry about him; then `Umar entered and you did not stir for him or worry about him; then `Uthman entered and you sat up and arranged your clothing." He replied, "Shall I not be modest with one towards whom the angels are modest?" In a version he said, "'Uthman is a modest man, and I was afraid that if I allowed him to enter when I was in that state, he might not tell me what he wanted." Muslim transmitted it.
