Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37039 — Reports from our Prophet
٣٧٠٣٩ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن نمير عن (أبان) (١) بن إسحاق عن الصباح بن محمد الأحمسي عن مرة الهمداني عن عبد اللَّه بن مسعود قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "استحيوا من اللَّه حق الحياء"، قال: قلنا: إنا لنستحي (٢) يا رسول اللَّه (ﷺ؟) (٣) قال: "ليس ذلك، ولكن من استحيا من اللَّه حق الحياء فليحفظ الرأس وما حوى، وليحفظ (البطن وما وعى) (٤)، وليذكر الموت والبلى، ومن أراد الآخرة ترك زينة الدنيا، فمن فعل ذلك فقد استحيا من اللَّه حق الحياء" (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be shy before Allah Almighty as shyness deserves." Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We said: O Messenger of Allah! We do feel shy. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is not shyness; rather, whoever is shy before Allah Almighty as shyness deserves, let him guard the head and the organs it contains, let him guard the stomach and the organs it contains, and let him remember death and decay. And whoever intends the Hereafter abandons the adornment of this world. So whoever does this has indeed fulfilled the right of shyness before Allah Almighty."
