Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was more shy than a virgin girl who has not married and deals with men while she is veiled in her house.

- The Hadīth demonstrates the Prophet's modesty and shyness, a noble moral trait.
