[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was sitting with his thigh uncovered when Abu Bakr sought permission to enter, and the Prophet granted him permission while in that state. Then Umar sought permission, and the Prophet granted him permission while in the same state. Then Uthman sought permission, and the Prophet covered himself with his clothes. When they left, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr and Umar sought permission to enter upon you, and you granted them permission while in that state, but when Uthman sought permission, you covered yourself with your clothes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Aisha, should I not be shy of a man when, by Allah, even the angels are shy of him."  

أحمد:٢٤٣٣٠حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبَدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَيَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ طَلْحَةَ تَذْكُرُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ جَالِسًا كَاشِفًا عَنْ فَخِذِهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَرْخَى عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ فَلَمَّا قَامُوا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَأَذِنْتَ لَهُمَا وَأَنْتَ عَلَى حَالِكَ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ أَرْخَيْتَ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَابَكَ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَاللهِ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was lying in the bed in my apartment with his thigh uncovered and Abu Bakr sought permission to enter. It was given to him and he conversed in the same very state (the Prophet's thigh or shank uncovered). Then ʿUmar sought permission for entering and it was given to him and he conversed in that very state. Then ʿUthman sought permission to enter; Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and he set right his clothes. Muhammad (one of the narrators) said: I do not say that it happened on the same day. He (ʿUthman) then entered and conversed and as he went out, ʿAisha said: Abu Bakr entered and you did not stir and did not observe much care (in arranging your clothes), then ʿUmar entered and you did not stir and did not arrange your clothes, then ʿUthman entered and you got up and set your clothes right, so he ﷺ said: Should I not show modesty to one whom even the Angels show modesty.
