Commentary
a. There is some weakness in this chain of the Hadith. Nevertheless this very Hadith is also reported on the authority of 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar ﷺ and Jābir
☛ which is considered sound. (Sahih Al-Jāmi' As-Saghir: 6013)
b. A person who has uncovered his private parts must avoid conversing with the others, it being against the principle of modesty. That is why it is tantamount to inviting the wrath of Allāh.
c. Talking together is prohibited because in order to do it the persons concerned shall have to sit close to each other which means uncovering themselves before others.
