Dear Islamic Brothers! Did you hear about the level of modesty possessed by Sayyiduna Usman, Zun-Nurayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, who is a product of the blessed training of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم? It was to such an extent that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, an embodiment of modesty himself, would honour his modesty and even the infallible angels of Allah Almighty would feel shy of him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin ‘Amir Bin Rabi’ah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said: ‘We were with Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ (during the days of the siege) and he said: ‘By Allah, I did not commit adultery during the age of ignorance nor after embracing Islam. Rather, after accepting Islam, there has been an increase in my modesty.’ (Nasai, p. 2351, Hadees 4024, summarised)
