Chapter on Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquettes, and Recommended Practices
عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ شَيْءٌ يَقُولُهُ اَلنَّاسُ عَوْرَةُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى اَلْمُؤْمِنِ حَرَامٌ فَقَالَ« لَيْسَ حَيْثُ يَذْهَبُونَ إِنَّمَا عُنِيَ عَوْرَةُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَزِلَّ زَلَّةً أَوْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ يُعَابُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَحْفَظَ عَلَيْهِ لِيُعَيِّرَ بِهِ يَوْماً مَا».
From him, from Al-Barqi, from Ibn Sinan, from Hudhayfah bin Mansur, who said:
I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: “There is something people say – ‘The private matters of a believer are forbidden for another believer.’” Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not as they think. What is meant by the private matters of a believer is that he may slip up or say something that he could be criticized for, and it should be kept confidential so that he is not shamed with it one day."
