5006 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»

Commentary

Al-Haya, or modesty, is that trait which prevents man from committing evil things and deeds, so that one may not be disgraced. Even when it is not intended to, modesty wards off bad behavior; hence, all of it is good.
