The word "al-hasin" is applied to a chaste woman, as mentioned by Al-Tabari and Ibn Manzur, who cited the verse by Al-Ajjaj: "And a chaste woman from among chaste, smooth ones far from harm and from engaging in evil." Chaste women may also be referred to in revelation texts as "muhsanat" or "guardians of their private parts."
