Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying in his house with his garment removed from his thighs. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) granted him permission, but he remained in that state. He conversed with the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also granted him permission, but he remained in that state. They conversed. Then Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) sat up straight and adjusted his garment. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) entered and they conversed. When he left, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: O Messenger of Allah! First Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came, but you did not move for him nor did you show any special concern. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and you did not move for him nor did you show any special concern. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and you sat up straight and adjusted your garment. The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Should I not show modesty before a man before whom even the angels show modesty?
