It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Aishah! If modesty (shyness and bashfulness) were in the form of a man, it would surely be a good and righteous man; and if shamelessness (foul and obscene speech) were in the form of a man, it would surely be a bad and wicked person."
Only Yahya bin al-Nadr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him), and only Abu al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) from Yahya bin al-Nadr (may Allah have mercy on him), while Ibn Lahi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
