حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا، ، نَذَرُ؟ قَالَ: " احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِكَ، أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ ". قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَاهَا ". قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا؟ قَالَ: " فَاللهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنَ النَّاسِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! How much of our private parts should we cover and how much can we leave uncovered?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Protect your private parts from everyone except your wife and your slave woman." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Some people have relatives who live with them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As much as possible, do not let them see your private parts, do not show them." I asked, "Sometimes one of us is alone?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah is more deserving that one should feel shy before Him."
