قَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ، نَبَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عَلِيُّ ، لَا تُجَامِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ نِصْفَ الشَّهْرِ ، وَلَا عِنْدَ غُرَّةِ الْهِلَالِ ، أَمَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَجَانِينَ يُصْرَعُونَ فِيهَا كَثِيرًا . ؟ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Ali! Do not have intercourse with your wife in the middle of the month nor at the time the new moon appears; have you not seen that in these days the insane frequently suffer fits of epilepsy and madness?"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، نَبَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ : إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَةِ امْرَأَتِي ، وَلَا تَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنِّي ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَلِمَ ذَاكَ ؟ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَكَ لِبَاسًا لَهَا ، وَأَنَا أَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِي ، وَيَرَوْنَهُ مِنِّي " . قَالَ : فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ بِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ ثُمَّ وَلَّى ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ ابْنَ مَظْعُونٍ لَحَيِيٌّ سِتِّيرٌ "
It is narrated from Sa'd bin Mas'ud al-Kindi that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) came into the blessed presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I dislike looking at the private parts of my wife, nor do I want her to see mine. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why do you say that? Allah Almighty has made you a garment for her, and I see the private parts of my wives and they see mine." He said: O Messenger of Allah! Who can compare with you? Then, when he turned his back and left, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his praise: "Indeed, Ibn Maz'un is an exceedingly modest person who keeps himself covered."
The imams and commentators explain at this point that in the Shari'ah there is no restriction of covering the private parts between spouses; however, this feeling of Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) was a manifestation of his extraordinary natural modesty, asceticism and piety, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised as an individual virtue.

وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثَنَا مِنْدَلٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَهْلَهُ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ ، وَلَا يَتَجَرَّدَانِ تَجَرُّدَ الْعَيْرَيْنِ " .
1624 \ 2 - وَرَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَهْوَازِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي غَسَّانَ .
وَقَالَ : أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ مِنْدَلٌ . وَذَكَرَ شَرِيكٌ أَنَّهُ كَانَ هُوَ وَمِنْدَلٌ عِنْدَ الْأَعْمَشِ ، فَحَدَّثَهُمْ عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُرْسَلًا .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you goes to his wife (for intimacy), let him take a covering, and let the two of them not be completely naked like two wild donkeys."
Imam al-Bazzar has also reported this narration by way of Ahmad bin Ishaq al-Ahwazi and Abu Ghassan, and Imam al-Bazzar says that the narrator 'Mindal' made a mistake in the chain of this narration; whereas a narrator named Sharik mentioned that he and Mindal were both present in the gathering of Imam al-A'mash when Asim al-Ahwal narrated this hadith before them by way of Abu Qilabah as 'mursal' (i.e. without mentioning the Companion).
