Abdullah bin Umar said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم passed by a man of the Ansar when he was giving his brother a warning against modesty. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of faith.

Abu Qatadah said: We were sitting with Imran bin Hussain and Bushair bin Kaab was also there. Imran bin Hussain reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Modesty is a good altogether, or he said: Modesty is altogether good. Bushair bin Kaab said: We find in some books that there is a modesty which produces peace and dignified bearing, and there is a modesty which produces weakness. Imran bin Hussain repeated the same words. So Imran became angry so much so that his eyes became red, and he said: Don’t you see that i am transmitting a tradition from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and you are mentioning something from your books? He (Qatadah) said: We said: Abu Nujaid, it is sufficient.

Abu Masud reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: One of the things people have learnt from the words of the earliest prophecy is: If you have no shame, do what you like.
