بَابُ: {أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلاَ حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ} :
Chapter. “No doubt! They did fold up their breasts, that they may from Him. Surely, even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Verily, He is the All- Knower of the (innermost secrets) of the breasts." (V.11:5)
Sahih Bukhari 4682 —
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَرَأَ : 0 أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ تَثْنَوْنِي صُدُورُهُمْ 0 ، قُلْتُ : " يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ ، مَا تَثْنَوْنِي صُدُورُهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُجَامِعُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَيَسْتَحِي ، أَوْ يَتَخَلَّى ، فَيَسْتَحِي ، فَنَزَلَتْ 0 أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ تَثْنَوْنِي صُدُورُهُمْ 0 " .
Narrated Muhammad bin `Abbas bin Ja`far: Ibn `Abbas recited. "No doubt! They fold up their breasts." I said, "O Abu `Abbas! What is meant by "They fold up their breasts?" He said, "A man used to feel shy on having sexual relation with his wife or on answering the call of nature (in an open space) so this Verse was revealed:-- "No doubt! They fold up their breasts."

Hadith Commentary:
"Yuthnuni" is the recitation (qira’ah) of Ibn Abbas, which is on the pattern of "Af‘uli" from "Athnuni Yuthnuni."
The well-known recitation is as follows:
﴿أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ تَثْنَوْنِي صُدُورُهُمْ﴾ (Hud: 5)
That is, they fold their chests, wishing to conceal themselves from Allah.
Yet He sees and knows everything even within their garments; nothing is hidden from Him.
