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

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلضَّرِيرِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ يَدْخُلُ مَعَ جَوَارِيهِ اَلْحَمَّامَ قَالَ« وَ مَا بَأْسٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِنَّ اَلْأُزُرُ لاَ يَكُونُونَ عُرَاةً كَالْحَمِيرِ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى سَوْأَةِ بَعْضٍ»».
From him, from Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Al-Nu’man, from Ali bin Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan Al-Darir, from Hammad bin Isa, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام, from Imam Ali عليه السلام, who said: It was said to Him (Imam Ali عليه السلام) that Sa’id bin Abdul-Malik enters the bathhouse with his female servants. Imam Ali عليه السلام said: "What harm is there if he and they wear waist wraps? They should not be naked like donkeys, looking at each other’s private parts."
