3.50 Shyness in Seeking Knowledge
٣۔٥٠ باب الْحَيَاءِ فِي الْعِلْمِ
Mujāhid said, "A shy person does not gain knowledge, neither does an arrogant person."
ʿĀʾishah said, "The best women are the women of the Anṣār: Shyness does not prevent them in gaining understanding of the religion."
وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: لاَ يَتَعَلَّمُ الْعِلْمَ مُسْتَحْيٍ وَلاَ مُسْتَكْبِرٌ۔
وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: نِعْمَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُنَّ الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يَتَفَقَّهْنَ فِي الدِّينِ۔
