Sahih Muslim Book - 1, Hadith - 157

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُوَيْدٍ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَّا وَفِينَا بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَحَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَيَاءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ قَالَ أَوْ قَالَ الْحَيَاءُ كُلُّهُ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ أَوْ الْحِكْمَةِ أَنَّ مِنْهُ سَكِينَةً وَوَقَارًا لِلَّهِ وَمِنْهُ ضَعْفٌ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتَا عَيْنَاهُ وَقَالَ أَلَا أَرَى أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتُعَارِضُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَأَعَادَ عِمْرَانُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَأَعَادَ بُشَيْرٌ فَغَضِبَ عِمْرَانُ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْنَا نَقُولُ فِيهِ إِنَّهُ مِنَّا يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ إِنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ.

Abu Qatadah said: "We were with 'Imran bin Husain and among us was Bushair bin Ka'b. On that day, 'Imran narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Modesty (Al-Haya') is good, all of it - or: Modesty (Al-Haya') is all good.' Bushair bin Ka'b said: 'We find in some of our books or books of wisdom, that some of it is tranquility and dignity for the sake of Allah and some of it is weakness.' 'Imran got so angry that his eyes turned red, and he said: 'What is this? I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and you quote something to contradict it!' 'Imran repeated the Hadith and Bushair repeated his comment, and we kept saying: 'He is fine, O Abu Nujaid, there is nothing wrong with him.'"
