Sahih Ibn Hibban 6915

Translation

✧ Muawiya b. Abi Sufyan sent him with a letter to Aisha. He gave it to her, and she said, 'Shall I not tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' I said, 'Yes.' She said, 'I was with him one day, I and Hafsa, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If only we had a man to talk to us." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I send for Abu Bakr to come and talk to us?" She said, he remained silent. Hafsa said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I send for Umar to come and talk to us?" She said, he ﷺ remained silent. Then he called a man and whispered something to him apart from us. The man went and brought Uthman. He turned to him and I heard him ﷺ say, "O Uthman, perhaps Allah will clothe you with a shirt. If they want you to take it off, do not take it off"—three times. I said, "O Mother of the Believers, why did you not mention this hadith before?" She said, "O my son, I forgot it, as if I had never heard it."
