1920 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ 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» ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تُرِيَهَا أَحَدًا، فَلَا تُرِيَنَّهَا» ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا؟ قَالَ: «فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ»

Commentary

To keep the private parts preserved from anyone else, other than the wife and female slave, means to abstain from illegal affairs and adultery. This Hadith also indicates that if a husband and wife see each other's private parts, it is not sinful. The following Ahādīth prohibited it but both narrations are Weak.
