THE ANGELS FEEL BASHFUL IN THE PRESENCE OF ‘UTHMAAN
‘Uthmaan, may Allah be pleased with him, was a very pious Companion and a man of high character. He was the most bashful of all the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
The Mother of the Believers, ‘ Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrates: The Prophet was lying down one day in my apartment with his thighs (or shanks) exposed. Then Abu Bakr came and sought permission to enter, and the Prophet bade him come in, in that very state of his. Abu Bakr came in and spoke to him and, having his need fulfilled, went back. Then, ‘Umar came, sought permission to enter, and the Prophet permitted him to enter while he was in that state. ‘Umar entered and spoke to the Prophet and, having his need fulfilled, went back. Then, ‘Uthmaan came and sought permission to enter, whereupon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sat up, straightened his clothing, and then let him enter.
‘Uthmaan came in and spoke to the Prophet. After he had gone,
I asked the Prophet: “Abu Bakr came in and you neither sat up nor show any anxiety (with regard to dressing), and ‘ Umar came in and you neither sal up nor show any anxiety. But when ‘Uthmaan came in, you straightened out your clothing?! The Prophet said: “Should I not be bashful of a man in whose presence even the angels feel bashful?” (Reported by Moslem.)
