Sunan Abi Dawud 4796

Translation

We were sitting with ʿImran b. Hussain and Bushair b. Kaʿb was also there. ʿImran b. Hussain reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Modesty is good altogether, or he said: Modesty is altogether good. Bushair b. Kaʿb 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. ʿImran b. Hussain repeated the same words. So ʿImran 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 ﷺ and you are mentioning something from your books? He (Qatadah) said: We said: Abu Nujaid, it is sufficient.

Notes

• فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِنَّا نَجِدُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ أَنَّ مِنْهُ سَكِينَةً وَوَقَارًا وَمِنْهُ ضَعْفًا. فَأَعَادَ عِمْرَانُ الْحَدِيثَ وَأَعَادَ بُشَيْرٌ الْكَلاَمَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَقَالَ أَلاَ أَرَانِي أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ كُتُبِكَ. قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ إِيهٍ إِيهٍ
