Chapter on encouragement to modesty and that it only brings good
Hadith 9222
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ((اسْتَحْيُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَقَّ الْحَيَاءِ)) قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَسْتَحِي وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ ((لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّ مَنِ اسْتَحْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَاءِ فَلْيَحْفَظِ الرَّأْسَ وَمَا حَوَى وَالْبَطْنَ وَمَا وَعَى وَلْيَذْكُرِ الْمَوْتَ وَالْبِلَى وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ تَرَكَ زِينَةَ الدُّنْيَا فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدِ اسْتَحْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَقَّ الْحَيَاءِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said one day: Be shy of Allah as is His due. We said: O Messenger of Allah! All praise is for Allah, indeed we are shy before Him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The matter is not as you have understood. Whoever wants to be truly shy before Allah should protect his head and what it contains, and protect his stomach and what it encompasses, and remember death and decay, and whoever intends the Hereafter should leave the adornment of the world. Whoever does so has been shy before Allah as is His due.
Hadith 9223
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((الْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ))

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالْبَذَاءُ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ وَالْجَفَاءُ فِي النَّارِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty is from faith, and faith leads to Paradise; and foul speech and bad language are from harshness and bad character, and harshness leads to the Fire.
Hadith 9225
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((مَا كَانَ الْفُحْشُ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ وَلَا كَانَ الْحَيَاءُ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abusive language and foul speech, wherever they are found, make that thing defective, and modesty, wherever it is found, makes that thing beautiful.
Hadith 9226
عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْحَيَاءَ وَالسِّتْرَ))

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty and inability to speak are two branches of faith, and foul speech and ability to speak are two branches of hypocrisy.

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا السَّوَّارِ الْعَدَوِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ((الْحَيَاءُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ)) فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ مِنْهُ وَقَارًا وَمِنْهُ سَكِينَةً فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صُحُفِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty brings nothing but goodness and virtue. Basheer bin Ka’b said: It is written in wisdom that some forms of modesty are a cause of dignity and some a cause of tranquility. Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am narrating to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and you are narrating from your scriptures.
Hadith 9231
عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ فَقَالَ بُشَيْرٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ مِنْهُ ضَعْفًا وَإِنَّ مِنْهُ عَجْزًا فَقَالَ أَحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَجِيئُنِي بِالْمُعَارِضِ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ مَا عَرَفْتُكَ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ إِنَّهُ طَيِّبُ الْهَوَى وَإِنَّهُ وَإِنَّهُ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ وَحَدَّثَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty is entirely goodness and virtue. Busheer said: In some forms of modesty there is weakness and in some there is humility, but he said: I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you present things contrary to the hadiths. From now on, as long as I recognize you, I will not narrate even a single hadith to you. However, people said: He is a man of good nature and he has such and such qualities as well. In any case, people kept counting his attributes until Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) became calm and began narrating hadiths.
