It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that I never listened in on any conversation of the Prophet (peace be upon him) (when he was speaking to someone else), except on one occasion when Hazrat Usman Ghani came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) at noon. I thought perhaps they were discussing matters related to women, so I felt jealous and listened in, and I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying to him, "Usman! Soon Allah Almighty will clothe you with a shirt. If the hypocrites want you to take it off, do not take it off until you meet me." Then, when I saw that Hazrat Usman fulfilled all the people's demands except stepping down from the caliphate, I understood that this was the same covenant that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had taken from him.
