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

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْعَوْرَةُ عَوْرَتَانِ اَلْقُبُلُ وَ اَلدُّبُرُ وَ اَلدُّبُرُ مَسْتُورٌ بِالْأَلْيَيْنِ فَإِذَا سَتَرْتَ اَلْقَضِيبَ وَ اَلْبَيْضَتَيْنِ فَقَدْ سَتَرْتَ اَلْعَوْرَةَ».
Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasiti, from a of his companions, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Madi عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "The private parts are two - the front and the back. The back is covered by the buttocks, so if you cover the penis and the testicles, you have covered the private parts."
