English translation

4017. It was narrated from Bahz bin Hakim, from his father that his grandfather said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, with regard to our 'Awrah, what may we uncover of it and what must we conceal?' He said: 'Cover your 'Awrah (completely) except from your wife and those whom your right hand possesses.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allāh, what if the people live close together?' He said, 'If you can make sure that no one sees it, then do not let anyone see it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allāh, what if one of us is alone?' He said, 'Allāh is more deserving that you should feel shy before Him than people.'" (Hasan)

4017 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، نَحْوَهُ عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ؟ قَالَ «احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِكَ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَيَنَّهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَيَنَّهَا» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا؟ قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ»
