He gave permission to 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. `Uthman said: "Then I asked permission to enter and he sat up, and said to `Aishah: `Cover yourself properly.' I fulfilled my need then I went away." `Aishah said: "0 Messenger of Allah, why did I not see you stirring for Abu Bakr and 'Umar as you did for `Uthman?" The Messenger of Allah said: "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."
