Silsilah as-Sahihah 2799 — Requirements of modesty before Allah

Sulaiman bin Ziyad Hadrami said: Abdullah bin Harith bin Jaz Zubaidi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me that he and his companion passed by Ayman, and saw that a group of Quraish had taken off their sheets, twisted them, and were playing patta (a game) naked. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we passed by them, they said, "These are leaders of a religion, ignore them." Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. When they saw him, they dispersed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned in a state of anger and entered the chamber. I was standing behind the chamber, and I heard him say inside the chamber: "Subhan Allah! (Glory be to Allah!) (These people) neither felt shame before Allah nor covered themselves before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Lady Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and she said: "O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for them." Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Only after great difficulty did he seek forgiveness for them.
