حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَمَّ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ،‏‏‏‏فَحَدَّثَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْحَيَاءُ كُلُّهُ خَيْرٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا نَجِدُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ أَنَّ مِنْهُ سَكِينَةً وَوَقَارًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنْهُ ضَعْفًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَعَادَ عِمْرَانُ الْحَدِيثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَعَادَ بُشَيْرٌ الْكَلَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُرَانِي أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ كُتُبِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ إِيهٍ إِيهِ.

Abu Qatadah said: We were sitting with Imran bin Hussain and Bushair bin Kaab was also there. Imran bin Hussain reported the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: Modesty is a good altogether, or he said: Modesty is altogether good. Bushair bin Kaab said: We find in some books that there is a modesty which produces peace and dignified bearing, and there is a modesty which produces weakness. Imran bin Hussain repeated the same words. So Imran became angry so much so that his eyes became red, and he said: Don’t you see that i am transmitting a tradition from the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and you are mentioning something from your books? He (Qatadah) said: We said: Abu Nujaid, it is sufficient.
