Shyness does not bring anything except good

`Imran bin Husain (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Shyness does not bring anything except good.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


In a narration of Muslim:
Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "All of shyness is good.''


Commentary:
This Hadith enlightens us on the excellence of modesty, which serves the good purpose of preventing man from the disobedience of Allah and from immoral and evil pursuits. Evidently, it has a salutary impact on society. Besides, it keeps man free from sins, and, consequently, he will stand blameless with Allah. From this standpoint, modesty is certainly a thorough good.

Modesty is a part of Iman (Faith)

Ibn `Umar (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) passed by a man of the Ansar who was admonishing his brother regarding shyness. Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of Iman.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
The Ansari, who was being lectured by his brother, was indeed an embodiment of modesty and unpretentiousness. Such a man is never sharp in worldly affairs because modesty restrains him from following wrong ways. For this reason, modesty has been called a part of the faith. This is an inborn quality, that is, some people are unassertive by birth. Yet, if they are gradually guided and directed towards virtues, their unassumingness further increases. And in Islam it is counted a virtue.
