613. Abu Samh said: "I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ, and when he wanted to take a bath he would say: 'Turn your back to me.' So I would turn my back and hung up a cloth, and concealed him with it." (Sahih)

Arabic text

613 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْفَلَّاسُ، وَمُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو السَّمْحِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ: «وَلِّنِي» فَأُوَلِّيهِ قَفَايَ، وَأَنْشُرُ الثَّوْبَ، فَأَسْتُرُهُ بِهِ

Commentary

It is not permissible to undress oneself in anybody else's view or presence. One can, however, undress oneself, when necessary, in loneliness or seclusion.
