حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْبَرَازِ بِلَا إِزَارٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَيِيٌّ سِتِّيرٌ يُحِبُّ الْحَيَاءَ وَالسَّتْرَ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw a man washing in a public place without a lower garment. So he mounted the pulpit, praised and extolled Allah and said: Allah is characterised by modesty and concealment. So when any of you washes, he should conceal himself.

ইয়া‘লা (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এক ব্যক্তিকে উলঙ্গ হয়ে খোলা জায়গায় গোসল করতে দেখলেন। অতঃপর মিম্বারে উঠে আল্লাহর প্রশংসা ও গুণগান করার পর বললেনঃ নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ লজ্জাশীল, গোপণীয়তা অবলম্বনকারী। তিনি লজ্জা ও গোপনীয়তা পছন্দ করেন। তোমাদের কেউ গোসল করতে চাইলে সে যেন গোপনীয়তা অবলম্বন করে।[1] সহীহ।

یعلیٰ بن امیہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ایک شخص کو بغیر تہ بند کے ( میدان میں ) نہاتے دیکھا تو آپ منبر پر چڑھے اور اللہ کی حمد و ثنا کی پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اللہ حیاء دار ہے پردہ پوشی کرنے والا ہے اور حیاء اور پردہ پوشی کو پسند فرماتا ہے لہٰذا جب تم میں سے کوئی نہائے تو ستر کو چھپا لے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Nufail] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair] dari [Abdul Malik bin Abu Sulaiman Al 'Arzami] dari ['Atha] dari [Ya'la], bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melihat seorang laki-laki mandi di tanah lapang tanpa memakai sarung.

Kemudian beliau naik mimbar, lalu memuji Allah dan bersabda: "Sesungguhnya Allah 'azza wajalla Maha Pemalu dan Tertutup, Dia menyukai sifat malu dan tertutup. Apabila salah seorang di antara kalian mandi, maka hendaknya ia menutupi dirinya." Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Abu Khalaf] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Aswad bin 'Amir] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin 'Ayyasy] dari [Abdul Malik bin Abu Sulaiman] dari ['Atha] dari [Shafwan bin Ya'la] dari [Ayahnya] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dengan hadits ini." Abu Daud berkata, "Hadits yang pertama lebih sempurna

Ya'lâ'dan rivayet olunduğuna göre; Resulullah (s.a.v). kırda peştemalsiz olarak yıkanan bir adam görmüş ve minbere çıkıp Allah'a hamd ve senada bulunduktan sonra: "Muhakkak ki Aziz ve Celîl olan Allah utangaçtır, (ayıplara) kapalıdır, utanmayı ve örtünmeyi sever, Binaenaleyh biriniz yıkandığı zaman örtünsün" buyurmuştur

Sunan Abi Dawud 4012, Book 33, Hot Baths (Kitab Al-Hammam), Hadith 4. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man bathing in a wide open area while being naked. Thus, he ascended the pulpit, praised Allah and extolled Him, then he said: "Verily, Allah, Glorified and Exalted, is characterized by modesty and concealment, and He loves modesty and concealment. Therefore, when any of you bathes, let him conceal himself."

Among the beautiful names of Allah, the Almighty, are Al-Hayiyy (the Shy and Modest One) and As-Sittīr (the Concealer), and He loves modesty and concealment. Hence, the Muslim should not expose his private parts in front of people when he is bathing, rather, it is obligatory for him to cover himself. Allah, the Almighty, is described as Modest in a manner that befits Him, not like the modesty of creatures, which is basically a change and embarrassment that overcome one when fearing blame or dispraise.

Rather, the modesty of Allah is leaving whatever does not befit the vastness of His mercy, the perfection of His generosity and munificence, and the greatness of His forbearance and pardon.
