4630 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "اَلْحَيَاءُ عَشَرَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ تِسْعَةٌ فِي اَلنِّسَاءِ وَ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي اَلرِّجَالِ فَإِذَا خُفِضَتْ ذَهَبَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ حَيَائِهَا وَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ ذَهَبَ جُزْءٌ فَإِذَا اُفْتُرِعَتْ ذَهَبَ جُزْءٌ وَ إِذَا وَلَدَتْ ذَهَبَ جُزْءٌ وَ بَقِيَ لَهَا خَمْسَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ فَإِذَا فَجَرَتْ ذَهَبَ حَيَاؤُهَا كُلُّهُ وَ إِنْ عَفَّتْ بَقِيَ لَهَا خَمْسَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ".
Hadith.4630 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Modesty consists of ten parts-nine of them are in women and one is in men. When a woman undergoes circumcision, one part of her modesty diminishes. When she marries, another part diminishes. When her virginity is taken, another part diminishes. When she gives birth, another part diminishes, leaving her with five parts of modesty. If she commits adultery, all her modesty is lost, but if she remains chaste, the five parts of modesty remain with her."
