3705. 'Aishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "O 'Uthmān! Indeed Allāh may give you a shirt, and if they wish that you take it off, do not take it off for them."(Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There is a long story with this Hadīth. [He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb.
٣٧٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَا عُثْمَانُ»، إِنَّهُ لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُقَمِّصُكَ قَمِيصًا، فَإِنْ أَرَادُوكَ عَلَى خَلْعِهِ فَلَا تَخْلَعْهُ لَهُمْ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

In this narration 'shirt' is a symbol of Caliphate. It serves the basis for 'Uthmān's rejection of the option of the "thugs" to abdicate the Khilāfah which was conferred to him by Allāh.
