. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by a man of the
Ansar who was admonishing his brother regarding shyness. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Leave him alone, for
modesty is a part of Iman.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The Ansari, who was being lectured by his brother, was indeed an embodiment of modesty and
unpretentiousness. Such a man is never sharp in worldly affairs because modesty restrains him from following
wrong ways. For this reason, modesty has been called a part of the faith. This is an inborn quality, that is, some
people are unassertive by birth. Yet, if they are gradually guided and directed towards virtues, their unassumingness
further increases. And in Islam it is counted a virtue.

. `Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Shyness
does not bring anything except good.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In a narration of Muslim: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"All of shyness is good.''
Commentary:
This Hadith enlightens us on the excellence of modesty, which serves the good purpose of
preventing man from the disobedience of Allah and from immoral and evil pursuits. Evidently, it has a salutary
impact on society. Besides, it keeps man free from sins, and, consequently, he will stand blameless with Allah. From
this standpoint, modesty is certainly a thorough good.

. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Iman has sixty
odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: `La ilaha illallah' (there is no true
god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And shyness is a branch of
Iman.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already occurred in a previous chapter, see commentary on Hadith No. 125. Here it
has been repeated with reference to the degrees of Faith. Modesty, too, is a part of Faith, rather one of its most
important ingredients, because it plays an effective role in the training and sublimation of human psyche.
