DON�T EXPOSE YOUR PRIVATE PARTS

Muhammad says that �a man should not see the private part of another man,� nor should men lie together �under one covering� (667).  In this connection, he also tells us that the Jews used to take their baths naked and looked at each other�s private parts, but Moses took his bath alone.  Instead of feeling ashamed for not following their leader�s example the Jews taunted him.  They said he refrained from exposing his private parts because he suffered from scrotal hernia.  But God vindicated him.  Once, while taking his bath, Moses put his clothes on a rock, but the rock moved away.  �Moses ran after it crying: O stone, my clothes; O stone, my clothes.� The Jews then had a chance to see Moses� private parts, and said: �By Allah, Moses does not suffer from any ailment� (669).
