Sahih al-Bukhari 5885 (Book 78, Hadith 144)

Narrated Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi: `Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Haya’ (pious shyness from committing religeous
indiscretions) does not bring anything except good.” Thereupon Bashir bin Ka`b said, ‘It is written in
the wisdom paper: Haya’ leads to solemnity; Haya’ leads to tranquility (peace of mind).”
`Imran said to him, “I am narrating to you the saying of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and you are speaking about
your paper (wisdom book)?”

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّوَّارِ الْعَدَوِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ الْحَيَاءُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ ‏”‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ وَقَارًا، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ سَكِينَةً‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صَحِيفَتِكَ‏.‏

Sahih al-Bukhari 5885 (Book 78, Hadith 144)

 

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
