there wa s a king behind them

Ùthman narrated that Abu Bakr
asked for permission to enter
upon the Messenger of Allah
when he was lying down on his
bed, wearing the cover of Àishah.
He gave permission to Abu Bakr
(to enter) when he was like that,
and he fulfilled his need then he
went away. Then Ùmar 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. Ùthman
said: "Then I asked permission to
enter and he sat up, and said to
Àishah: `Cover yourself properly.' I
fulfilled my need then I went away."
Àishah said: "0 Messenger of
Allah, why did I not see you stirring
for Abu Bakr and 'Umar as you did
for Ùthman?" 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
