4794. It was narrated that Anas said: “I never saw any man whispering into the ear of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ moving his head away until the man moved his head away, and I never saw any man taking his hand and him pulling his hand away until the man let his hand go.” (Da’if)
4794 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُبَارَكٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا الْتَقَمَ أُذُنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيُنَحِّي رَأْسَهُ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُنَحِّي رَأَسَهُ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَتَرَكَ يَدَهُ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَدَعُ يَدَهُ»

See Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah no. 2485, where versions supporting this were graded authentic. Modesty: Modesty is a particular natural disposition which appears in the mind on doing well known deeds and sometimes during performing improper deeds. This state of mind is a sort of blessing and result of a special kind of conflict between two opposite sentiments. Sometimes people link it with inability of doing something good, but it is more cowardness than modesty.
