حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَحْيُوا مِنْ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَائِ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَسْتَحْيِي وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ لَيْسَ ذَاکَ وَلَکِنَّ الِاسْتِحْيَائَ مِنْ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَائِ أَنْ تَحْفَظَ الرَّأْسَ وَمَا وَعَی وَالْبَطْنَ وَمَا حَوَی وَلْتَذْکُرْ الْمَوْتَ وَالْبِلَی وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ تَرَکَ زِينَةَ الدُّنْيَا فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِکَ فَقَدْ اسْتَحْيَا مِنْ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَائِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2458
Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: Have Haya' for Allah as is His due. [He said:] We said: O Prophet of Allah! We have Haya', and all praise is due to Allah. He said: Not that, but having the Haya' for Allah which He is due is to protect the head and what it contains and to protect the insides and what it includes, and to remember death and the trial, and whoever intends the Hereafter, he leaves the adornments of the world. So whoever does that, then he has indeed fulfilled Haya', meaning the Haya' which Allah is due.
