2615. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh passed by a man and he was chastising his brother about modesty, so the Messenger of Allāh said: “Al-Ḥayā” is part of faith.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) In his narration of it, Aḥmad bin Manī‘ said: “The Prophet ﷺ heard a man chastising his brother about modesty.” [He said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, [Abū Bakrah and Abū Umāmah].
٢٦١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ» وَهُوَ يَعِظُ أَخَاهُ فِي الْحَيَاءِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ. قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَعِظُ أَخَاهُ فِي الْحَيَاءِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

Al-Ḥayā, translated as bashfulness, shyness and modesty, is a great branch of Īmān, it is a means to strengthen and support Īmān; because bashfulness means “the soul gets strained or the nature gets stressed for Committing a sin”. Therefore the Prophet prevented a companion from rebuking his brother concerning bashfulness and modesty.
