Sahih al-Bukhari 6118 (Book 78, Hadith 145) #5874
The Importance of Pious Shyness

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that Haya' (pious shyness from committing religious indiscretions) is an important part of faith.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet passed by a man who was admonishing his brother regarding Haya' (pious shyness from committing religious indiscretions) and was saying, "You are very shy, and I am afraid that might harm you". On that, Allah's Messenger said, "Leave him, for Haya' is (a part) of Faith".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهْوَ يُعَاتَبُ فِي الْحَيَاءِ يَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَتَسْتَحْيِي‏.‏ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ قَدْ أَضَرَّ بِكَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ دَعْهُ فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاءَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of having pious shyness, or haya', in our faith. Haya' is a quality that encourages us to stay away from any kind of wrong-doing and to be modest in our behavior. It is an important part of being a believer and it helps us stay on the right path. Allah's Messenger, peace be upon him, was passing by two people when he heard one admonishing his brother about haya'. He then said "Leave him, for haya' is a part of faith". This shows us how important it is for believers to have this quality as it will help them stay away from any kind of sin or wrong-doing. We should strive to have this quality in ourselves so that we can remain true believers and live according to the teachings of Islam.
