Mu’awiyah ibn Haydah reported: I said, “O Prophet of Allah, what can we cover or uncover of our nakedness?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Cover your nakedness, except from your wife or those in the custody of your right hand.” Mu’awiyah said, “O Messenger of Allah, what about when some people are with others?” The Prophet said, “If you are able to keep anyone from seeing it, do not let them see it.” Mu’awiyah said, “O Prophet of Allah, what about when one of us is alone?” The Prophet said, “Allah is more worthy of your modesty than people.”

عن معاوية بن حيدة القشيري قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ قَالَ احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِكَ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ قَالَ إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَاهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا قَالَ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ
