Chapter: Branches of Eman and the Virtue of Modesty

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Faith has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is the branch of faith.
[Hadith 60]
Salim reported on the authority of his father that the Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man censuring his brother regarding modesty. Upon this the Prophet remarked:
Modesty is part of Iman (faith).
[Hadith 61]
Benefits taken from the explanation of Imaam an-Nawawi
-Al-Hayaah is shyness which leads to the person to evaluate his own weakness.
-Ibn Salah said shyness is blameworthy if he leaves aspects of the religion, such as not enjoining good out of shyness etc. Then this is not self-evaluative and in reality it promotes immorality, thus not actual shyness.

[Sharh Muslim 2/8]

And Allaah Knows Best
