حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى يَقُولُ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ جَارِيَةٌ تَضْرِبُ بِالدُّفِّ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَأَمْسَكَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ رَجُلٌ حَيِيٌّ.

Abdur-Rahman, that is Ibn Mahdi, narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from a shaykh of Bajilah, he said: I heard Ibn Abi Awfa say: Abu Bakr, may Allah Almighty be pleased with him, sought permission to enter upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while a slave-girl was with him striking a tambourine. Then 'Umar, may Allah Almighty be pleased with him, sought permission and entered. Then 'Uthman, may Allah Almighty be pleased with him, sought permission, so she stopped. He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed 'Uthman is a shy man."
