العشرون
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُوْدٍ عُقْبَةَ بِنْ عَمْرٍو الأَنْصَارِي الْبَدْرِي رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ مِمَّا أَدْرَكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلاَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ الأُوْلَى، إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ.
[رواه البخاري ]

Brief
Narration
The Arabic word 'Haya' can be translated as: modesty, shame, shyness or
bashfulness. The word 'Haya' is derived from the word 'Al-Hayah',
which means life, as if the person who has no 'Haya' (modesty) is like a dead
person.
There are two aspects of 'Haya': Natural Haya and acquired Haya. The
later is attained as a result of knowing and realizing the Glory of Allah and
His attributes.
