Chapter on Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquettes, and Recommended Practices

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عَوْرَةُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى اَلْمُؤْمِنِ حَرَامٌ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ» فَقُلْتُ أَعْنِي سُفْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ« لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِذَاعَةُ سِرِّهِ».
Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Muhammad bin Isa, from Al-Hasan bin Ali, from Abdullah bin Sinan, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the statement: "The private matters of a believer are forbidden for another believer." Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes." I said: “I mean his lower body.” Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not as you think; rather, it refers to revealing his secrets."
