The modesty of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers, ponder for a moment! If this is the level of modesty shown by a Companion of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , then what can be said about the modesty of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself. In relation to this, the renowned Companion, Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states, “The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was more bashful than an unmarried girl in seclusion.”^[1]

The renowned Quranic commentator, Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه makes the following comments on this hadith:

When an unmarried girl is about to get married, she is confined to one corner of the home; this is known as “mayoon bithaana” in Urdu. In this period, a girl is very shy. She even displays shyness before her own family and does not say things openly. The noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was more bashful than that. Modesty is an exclusive attribute of humans; the stronger one’s faith, the greater their level of modesty.^[2]
