"should I not be modest before whom the angels are modest?" It was recorded by al-Ḥākim (3/95 and 103) who said: "Authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim." al-Dhahabī agreed with him. And know that it has been authentically reported from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) that he said: "The thigh is ʿawrah," and it is documented in "Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl" (66).

We entered upon him after he had lost his sight, and we found a rope hanging from the ceiling and some loaves placed before him or bread. Whenever a poor person asked for food, Jābir would get up, take a loaf, and hold the rope until he reached the poor person to give it to him, then return by the rope to sit down. I said to him: "May Allāh grant you well-being, we give to the poor when they come." He replied: "I seek to earn reward..
