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.

We were sitting with Imran bin Hussain رضی اللہ عنہما and Bushair bin Kaab was also there. Imran bin Hussain رضی اللہ عنہما 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.
