[Machine] Uthman ibn Mazh'un came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I feel shy for my family to see my private parts." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Why is that? Allah has made you a covering for them and made them a covering for you." Uthman said, "I dislike that." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, they see it from you and you see it from them." Uthman asked, "You are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." Uthman then asked, "And who will come after you?" After Uthman turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Uthman ibn Mazh'un is a modest and shy person."
