Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Faith has over sixty or seventy branches, the most excellent of which is «لا اله الا الله» , and the lowest is removing something harmful from the road, and modesty is a branch of faith."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was more modest than a veiled virgin girl. When he disliked something, we could recognize it from his face.

Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them) narrate that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to enter. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying on Sayyidah Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) bed, wrapped in her sheet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) permission while he was in that state. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) fulfilled his need and then left. After that, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also granted him permission while he was in the same state. He fulfilled his need and then left. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then I sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he sat up properly and said to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her),“Gather your clothes.”She said: I fulfilled my need with you and then I left. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! I noticed that you did not make the same arrangement for Abu Bakr and Umar as you did for Uthman. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:“Uthman is a very modest man. I feared that if I allowed him to enter in that state, he would not be able to express his need to me.”

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Modesty beautifies whatever it is in, and indecency makes whatever it is in defective."

Salim narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was advising his brother about modesty (he was angry with him and scolding him), to the extent that he was saying: "You are so modest that it is harming you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him, for indeed modesty is part of faith."

Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): She said, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying down in my house and he had uncovered his thigh or both his shins. At that moment, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to enter. He allowed him to enter in that same state, and he came in and spoke. After that, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission. He also allowed him to enter in that same state, and he came in and spoke. After that, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat up and adjusted his clothes. Muhammad (the narrator) said: I do not say that all three came on the same day. They entered and spoke, then when they left, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said, O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came, you did not move or pay attention, then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, you did not move or pay attention, but when Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, you sat up and adjusted your clothes? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Should I not show modesty to the one before whom even the angels are modest?”
