It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every religion has a characteristic (that is, a manner, way, or trait which the followers of that religion are inclined towards), and the characteristic of Islam is modesty."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man advising his brother regarding modesty. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him, for modesty is part of faith."
