2769. Bahz bin Hākīm said: "My father narrated to me from my grandfather, who said: 'I said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Regarding our 'Awrah, what of it must we cover and what of it may we leave?" He said: "Protect your 'Awrah except from your wife or what your right hand possesses." He said: "What about a man with another man?" He said: "If you are able to not let anyone see it, then do so." I said: "What about a man when he is alone?" He said: "Allāh is most deserving of being shy from Him." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eīsā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. Bahz's grandfather's name is Mu'āwiyah bin Haidah Al-Qushairī. Al-Jurairī reported from Hākīm bin Mu'āwiyah – and he is the father of Bahz.

Commentary
'Awrah is a part of the body that in case of its being naked a person is ashamed and embarrassed, as for the 'Awrah of a man it is from below the naval down to the knees; the whole body of a free woman, except her hands
and face, is her 'Awrah which must remain covered all the times before others.
