Hadith 19972

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَعَامَةَ الْعَدَوِيُّ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّه " , فَقَالَ بُشَيْرٌ : فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ مِنْهُ ضَعْفًا ، وَإِنَّ مِنْهُ عَجْزًا , فَقَالَ : أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَجِيئَنِي بِالْمَعَارِيضِ ؟ ! لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ مَا عَرَفْتُكَ , فَقَالُوا : يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ ، إِنَّهُ طَيِّبُ الْهَوَى ، وَإِنَّهُ وَإِنَّهُ ، فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ وَحَدَّثَ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty always brings goodness. After hearing this hadith from him, Bashir bin Ka'b said: It is written in the books of wisdom that modesty brings dignity and tranquility. Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am narrating to you the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and you are talking about your scriptures. From now on, I will not narrate any hadith to you. People began to say, O Abu Najid! He is a good man, and they kept reassuring him until he became silent and started narrating hadith again.
