Sunan Ibn Majah 613 (Book 1, Hadith 347) #29965
Modesty of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was very modest and asked people to turn away from him when he wanted to take a bath.

Abu Samh said: "I used to serve the Prophet, and when he wanted to take a bath he would say: 'Turn your back to me'. So I would turn my back and hung up a cloth, and concealed him with it".
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْفَلاَّسُ وَمُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو السَّمْحِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ وَلِّنِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأُوَلِّيهِ قَفَاىَ وَأَنْشُرُ الثَّوْبَ فَأَسْتُرُهُ بِهِ
