[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Modesty is entirely good. Bishr bin Ka'b said: It weakens me. So 'Imran got angry and said: I don't see anyone who narrates from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that modesty is entirely good and then says that it weakens him. So he (Bishr) became silent, and he (Imran) intended not to speak to him. It was said to him: It is as you like."  

أحمد:١٩٩٥٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ حَدَّثَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ قَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِنَّ مِنْهُ ضَعْفًا فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ فَقَالَ لَا أَرَانِي أُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ وَتَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْهُ ضَعْفًا ‍ قَالَ فَجَفَاهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحَدِّثَهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ كَمَا تُحِبُّ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Modesty is all good." Then a man from the crowd said: "It is said that from it comes respect for Allah and from it comes weakness." Imran said to him, "I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah and you narrate to me from newspapers."

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Modesty is all goodness." Bishr bin Ka'b said, "It includes weakness and honor for Allah." Imran said to Bishr, "Do you hear me? I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and you say it includes weakness and honor and he got angry!" He said, "I will not narrate to you today any Hadith."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ» فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِنَّ مِنْهُ ضَعْفًا وَمِنْهُ وَقَارٌ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ لِبَشِيرٍ تَسْمَعُنِي أُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَقُولُ مِنْهُ ضَعْفٌ وَمِنْهُ وَقَارٌ وَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ «لَا أُحَدِّثُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِحَدِيثٍ»
