حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى) قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا السَّوَّارِ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ

يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «الْحَيَاءُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ». فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ أَنَّ مِنْهُ وَقَارًا وَمِنْهُ سَكِينَةً. فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صُحُفِكَ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Modesty brings forth nothing but goodness. Bushair ibn Kab said: It is recorded in the books of wisdom, there lies sobriety in it and calmness of mind in it, Imran said: I am narrating to you the tradition of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and you talk of your books.

ہمیں شبابہ نے بتایا ، کہا : شعبہ نے کہا : میں شہر سے ملا لیکن ( روایت حدیث کے حوالے سے ) میں نے انہیں اہمیت نہ دی ۔

Bana Merv halkından Muhammed b. Abdillâh b. Kuhzâz da rivâyet etti. ki: Bana Adlî b. Hüseyn b. Vâkıd haber verdi. ki: b. el-Mubârek şunları söyledi: Süfyan-ı Sevrî'ye- dedim ki: Şüphesiz Abbâd b. Kesîr, hâlini (zayıf olduğunu) bildiğin bir kimsedir. Hadîs rivâyet ettiği zaman yüksekten atar. Şu halde halka: ondan hadîs almayın, dememi münasib görür müsün?»

Süfyan: Hay hay!, cevabını verdi. Abdullah dedi ki: zamandan beri, bulunduğum bir meclisde Abbâd'in sözü geçti mi, dîni hususunda onu över; fakat: ondan hadîs almayın derim.»

What it means

Modesty is the kind of trait that induces humans to perform actions that beautify and adorn and to abandon actions that defile and dishonor. Hence, it brings nothing but good. The reason the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said this is because he met someone who was advising his brother against excessive modesty.
