It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said one day: Be shy of Allah as is His due. We said: O Messenger of Allah! All praise is for Allah, indeed we are shy before Him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The matter is not as you have understood. Whoever wants to be truly shy before Allah should protect his head and what it contains, and protect his stomach and what it encompasses, and remember death and decay, and whoever intends the Hereafter should leave the adornment of the world. Whoever does so has been shy before Allah as is His due.
