حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَکِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ قَالَ احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَکَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِکَ أَوْ مَا مَلَکَتْ يَمِينُکَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا کَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ قَالَ إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَاهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِذَا کَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا قَالَ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2794
Narrated Bahz bin Hakim: from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! 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 Allah! 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 Allah! What about when one of us is alone?' He said: 'Allah is more deserving of being shy from Him than the people.'
