Hadith of Hafsa (RA), the Mother of the Believers, daughter of Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA)

حديث حفصة أم المؤمنين بنت عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنهما

Hadith 1155:45

Hashim narrated to us, he said: Abu Mu’awiyah—meaning Shayban—narrated to us, from Abu al-Ya’fur, from ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Sa’id al-Madani, from Hafsah bint ‘Umar, she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered upon me one day, and he placed his garment between his thighs. Then Abu Bakr came seeking permission [to enter], so he gave him permission while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in his state. Then ‘Umar came seeking permission, so he gave him permission while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in his state. And a group of his companions came, so he gave them permission. And ‘Ali came seeking permission, so he gave him permission while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in his state. Then ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan came and sought permission, so he covered himself with his garment, then he gave him permission. They spoke for a while, then they left. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Ali, and a group of your companions entered upon you, and you were in your state, you did not move. But when ‘Uthman entered, you covered yourself with your garment?" He said: "Should I not be shy of a man whom the angels are shy of?"

حدثنا هاشم، قال: حدثنا أبو معاوية يعني شيبان، عن أبي اليعفور، عن عبد الله بن أبي سعيد المدني ، عن حفصة بنت عمر، قالت: دخل علي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم، فوضع ثوبه بين فخذيه، فجاء أبو بكر يستأذن، فأذن له ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على هيئته، ثم جاء عمر يستأذن، فأذن له ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على هيئته ، وجاء ناس من أصحابه، فأذن لهم وجاء علي يستأذن فأذن له ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على هيئته، ثم جاء عثمان بن عفان فاستأذن، فتجلل ثوبه، ثم أذن له، فتحدثوا ساعة ثم خرجوا، فقلت: يا رسول الله، دخل عليك أبو بكر، وعمر، وعلي، وناس من أصحابك وأنت على هيئتك لم تحرك ، فلما دخل عثمان تجللت ثوبك فقال: " ألا أستحيي ممن تستحيي منه الملائكة "
