The hadith of the countenance.
0:08
His face would radiate with modesty and composure, expressing what he disliked.
0:19
Yet, out of modesty, he would not speak harshly, nor would he frequently rebuke; rather, his expression would change and his features would tighten.
0:28
Thus, they would know that he was displeased or angry.
0:31
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says:
0:35
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was more modest than a virgin in her private quarters.
0:43
If he saw something he disliked, we would recognize it in his face.
0:49
This is because she has not mingled with anyone and remains modest and gentle.
0:54
She is soft-spoken, unaccustomed to harshness, and barely acts or speaks.
1:01
Therefore, she is described as possessing dignity, modesty, and intense shyness.
1:06
Likewise, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was even more so in shunning vile things.
1:12
And in distancing himself from reprehensible matters and those who commit them.
1:16
If he disliked something, he would express it through his face and his conduct.
1:20
Consequently, his Companions and those present with him would be deterred.
1:25
Modesty is a great moral conduct.
1:29
It inspires one to do good and abandon evil, and it is among the traits of faith.
1:36
The comparison of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the modesty of a virgin in her quarters,
1:41
Is merely for the sake of approximation and understanding.
1:44
A person lives modestly in goodness; the branch remains as long as the bark remains.
1:51
By Allah, there is no good in life or in this world if modesty departs.
1:58
This modesty adorns the personality and refines conduct.
2:05
It leads to piety, brevity of speech, and avoiding unnecessary interference.
2:09
It increases chastity and self-discipline.
2:12
This was the case with the Prophet (peace be upon him),
2:16
Unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated or the laws were undermined.
2:21
If the sacred boundaries were transgressed, his anger would flare and his rebuke would intensify.
2:27
He would act in accordance with his station, guiding those who needed correction.
2:30
And holding them to the law of Allah the Exalted.
2:34
In this is an indication of the virtue of modesty.
2:37
And that it is a praiseworthy trait.
2:40
As long as it does not lead to weakness and frailty.
2:43
For then it is not modesty, but rather weakness and incapacity.
2:48
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
