It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was advising his brother about modesty, saying, "Do not be too modest." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let him remain modest, for modesty is a part of faith."

In another chain, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was scolding his brother about (excessive) modesty, to the extent that he said, "You will suffer loss because of it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him to his state, for modesty is part of faith."
