Arabic text

4180 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ، مَوْلًى لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنْ عَذْرَاءَ فِي خِدْرِهَا، وَكَانَ إِذَا كَرِهَ شَيْئًا رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ»

Commentary

Enduring an unpleasant matter and not disclosing one's feelings clearly is also considered bashfulness. However, if the matter is contrary to the Shari'ah then preferring silence is not from bashfulness; at that time one should express his displeasure in a proper way.
