English Translation
`A`ishah, the wife of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and Hadrat 'Uthman (may Allah be well pleased with him) narrated that Hadrat Abu Bakr asked for permission to enter upon the Beloved Messenger of Allah (SWT) when he was lying down on his bed, wearing the cover of `A`ishah. He gave permission to Hadrat Abu Bakr (to enter) when he was like that, and he fulfilled his need then he went away. Then ‘Umar asked for permission to enter and he gave him permission (to enter) when he was like that, and he fulfilled his need then he went away. `Hadrat Uthman said: Then I asked permission to enter and he set up and said to `A`ishah: `Cover yourself properly.` I fulfilled my need then I went away, `A`ishah said: O Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), why did I not see you stirring for Hadrat Abu Bakr and ‘Umar as you did for `Hadrat Uthman? The Beloved Messenger of Allah (SWT) said: ``Hadrat Uthman is a shy man, and I was afraid that if I gave him permission to enter when I was in that state, he would not tell me of his need.` Al-Laith said: Some people said: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated to `A`ishah (may Allah be well pleased with him): `Should I not feel shy before a man before whom the angels feel shy?` Sa`eed bin al-`As narrated that `Hadrat Uthman and `A`ishah narrated that Hadrat Abu Bakr asked for permission to enter upon the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) when he was lying down on his bed, wearing the cover of `A`ishah. And he narrated a hadeeth similar to that of ‘Uqail.
