Modesty Brings Nothing But Good
الْحَيَاءُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ. فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ وَقَارًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ سَكِينَةً. فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ: أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صَحِيفَتِكَ

Al-hayā'u lā ya'tī illā bi-khayr. Faqāla Bushayr ibnu Ka'b: Maktūbun fil-hikmati inna minal-hayā'i waqāran wa inna minal-hayā'i sakīnah. Faqāla lahu 'Imrān: Uhaddithuka 'an rasūlillāhi ﷺ wa tuhaddithunī 'an sahīfatik
Translation
Narrated Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi: 'Imran bin Husain said, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Haya' (pious shyness) does not bring anything except good." Thereupon Bashir bin Ka'b said, "It is written in the wisdom paper: Haya' leads to solemnity; Haya' leads to tranquility (peace of mind)." 'Imran said to him, "I am narrating to you the saying of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and you are speaking about your paper (wisdom book)?"
