اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنَ الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي خِدْرِهَا، وَكَانَ إِذَا كَرِهَ شَيْئًا عَرَفْنَاهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ. حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، وَابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ مَوْلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، مِثْلَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : وَقَالَ غُنْدَرٌ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was more modest than a veiled virgin girl, and when he disliked something, we would recognize it from the expression on his face. Through another chain of narration, it is also narrated in a similar manner from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the embodiment of modesty (haya). When he would see something contrary to dignity, he would not express it verbally. Due to his modesty, the effects of displeasure would become apparent on his face. Therefore, the greater the modesty (haya), the more complete the faith (iman) will be.
