[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was sitting one day with his thighs uncovered and Abu Bakr came and sought permission, so he granted it to him. Then Umar came with a similar situation, then Ali, then some of his companions, and the Prophet ﷺ granted them permission while in that state. Then Uthman came and sought permission, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took his garment and covered himself with it. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, and all your companions came to you while you were in your state, but when Uthman came, you covered yourself with your garment." She (the narrator) said, "So the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Should I not be modest from someone before whom the angels are modest?'" The shaikh said, "And likewise."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِسًا وَقَدْ وَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ ثُمَّ عَلِيٌّ ثُمَّ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَوْبَهُ فَتَجَلَّلَهُ قَالَتْ فَتَحَدَّثُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَسَائِرُ أَصْحَابِكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى هَيْئَتِكَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ تَجَلَّلْتَ بِثَوْبِكَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِمَّنْ تَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَكَذَلِكَ
