Those who disliked that their private parts be seen

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a sermon in which he said: "O assembly of Muslims, be modest before Allah. By the One in whose hand is my soul, when I go out to relieve myself in the open, I keep my head covered out of modesty before my Lord."

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bathe in a dark room, yet even then, when I take off my clothes, I bend my back out of modesty before Allah Almighty.

Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Qurad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He went a long way off to relieve himself.

Abdullah bin Amir said: Once my father saw me while another man and I were both bathing; he was pouring water on me and I was pouring water on him. He called out to me loudly and said: "Can one man look at another man's 'awrah?! By Allah, you are not good successors to me."

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No man may look at another man's 'awrah.

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That I should die and then be brought back to life, then die and be brought back to life, then die and be brought back to life, is dearer to me than that I should see a man's 'awrah or that a man should see mine.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That I should die and then be brought back to life is dearer to me than that anyone should see my 'awrah.

Ibn Tawus said: My father ordered me to cover my head when entering the toilet. The narrator asked: "Why did he order you to do that?" He said: "I do not know."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No man should look at another man's 'awrah, and no woman should look at another woman's 'awrah."

Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and he said: "O Mughirah, take the water vessel." I took it and set out with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went so far ahead of me that he could no longer be seen, and then he relieved himself.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. When he needed to relieve himself, he would go so far away that he could not be seen.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) needed to relieve himself, he would go so far away that no one could see him, and he would not lift his garment until he was very close to the ground.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Since I accepted Islam, I have never straightened my back while bathing.
