[6210] 27 - (2402) ‘Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and ‘Uthmân narrated that Abû Bakr asked for permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when he was lying down on his bed, wearing the cover of ‘Āishah. He gave permission to Abû Bakr (to enter) when he was like that, and he fulfilled his need then he went away. Then ‘Umar asked for permission to enter, and he gave him permission (to enter) when he was like that, and he fulfilled his need, then he went away. ‘Uthmân said: “Then I asked permission to enter and he sat up, and said to ‘Āishah: ‘Cover yourself properly.’ I fulfilled my need then I went away.” ‘Āishah said: “O Messenger of Allâh, why did I not see you stirring for Abû Bakr and ‘Umar as you did for ‘Uthmân?” The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “Uthmân is a shy man, and I was afraid that if I gave him permission to enter when I was in that state, he would not tell me of his need.”
