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.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي بَيْتِي كَاشِفًا عَنْ فَخِذَيْهِ أَوْ سَاقَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ فَتَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ فَتَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَوَّى ثِيَابَهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَلاَ أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَدَخَلَ فَتَحَدَّثَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تَهْتَشَّ لَهُ وَلَمْ تُبَالِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَلَمْ تَهْتَشَّ لَهُ وَلَمْ تُبَالِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسْتَ وَسَوَّيْتَ ثِيَابَكَ فَقَالَ أَلاَ أَسْتَحِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ

(Using translation from Muslim 2401)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي بَيْتِهِ كَاشِفًا عَنْ فَخِذَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ فَتَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ فَتَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَوَّى ثِيَابَهُ فَدَخَلَ فَتَحَدَّثَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تَهَشَّ لَهُ وَلَمْ تُبَالِ بِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَلَمْ تَهَشَّ لَهُ وَلَمْ تُبَالِ بِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسْتَ فَسَوَّيْتَ ثِيَابَكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أَسْتَحِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat in a house that had nothing on it except a single garment, which he spread between his legs and thighs. Abu Bakr sought permission to enter and he granted it to him, so he entered. Then ‘Umar sought permission to enter and he granted it to him, so he entered. Then ‘Uthman sought permission to enter and he granted it to him, so when the Prophet saw him he hastened to stand up, so it upset ‘A’ishah. When the people had gone out, she said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar entered, so you did not change your position, but when ‘Uthman entered you stood up quickly." He said: "O ‘A’ishah, should I not feel shy before one before whom the angels feel shy?"

جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا إِزَارٌ فَطَرَحَهُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَفَخِذَاهُ خارجتانِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَامَ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَلَمْ تُغَيِّرْ عَنْ حَالِكَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ قُمْتَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَلَا أَسْتَحِي مِمَّنْ تَسْتَحْي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْتَحْي مِنْ عُثْمَانَ»

"عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي بَيْتِهِ كَاشِفًا

عَنْ فَخِذَيْهِ، أَوْ سَاقَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الحَالِ فَتَحَدَّثَ، ثُمَ اسْتَأذَنَ عُمَرُ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ فَتَحَدَّثَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأذَنَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَوَّى ثِيَابَهُ، فَدَخَلَ فَتَحَدَّثَ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تَجْلِسْ وَلَمْ تباله ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَلَمْ تَهشَّ وَلَمْ تُبَالِهِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَلَسْتَ وَسَوَّيْتَ ثِيَابَكَ؟ فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَسْتَحْيى مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَسْتَحْيى مِنْهُ المَلَائِكَةُ".
