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

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ اَلْمِيثَمِيُّ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَوْ مَنْ رَآهُ مُتَجَرِّداً وَ عَلَى عَوْرَتِهِ ثَوْبٌ فَقَالَ« إِنَّ اَلْفَخِذَ لَيْسَتْ مِنَ اَلْعَوْرَةِ».
From him, from Al-Abbas, from Ali bin Isma'il, from Muhammad bin Hakim Al-Mithami, I do not know except that he said: I saw Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, or someone who saw Imam عليه السلام, uncovered with a cloth over his private parts. Imam عليه السلام said: "The thigh is not part of the private parts."
