2794. Bahz bin Ḥakīm narrated from his father, from his grandfather, who said: "I said: 'O Prophet 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: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What about when some people are with others?' He said: 'If you are able to not let anyone see it then do not let them see it.'" He said: "I said: 'O Prophet of Allāh! What about when one of us is alone?' He said: 'Allāh is more deserving of being shy from Him than the people.'"[1]

Commentary
The issue of covering one's private parts has been quoted in this 'chapter on manners' for the second time; one should not expose the private parts even when one is alone. Allāh has more right to be shown modesty and bashfulness; the aim is that His order should be obeyed even when one is alone and in privacy.
