أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ يَعْلَی أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَی رَجُلًا يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْبَرَازِ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَی عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَلِيمٌ حَيِيٌّ سِتِّيرٌ يُحِبُّ الْحَيَائَ وَالسَّتْرَ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 408
It was narrated from Ya’la that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saw a man performing Ghusl in an open place, so he ascended the Minbar and praised and glorified Allah, then he said: ‘Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is forbearing, modest and concealing, and He loves modesty and concealment. When any one of you performs Ghusl, let him conceal himself.” (Sahih)
