Modesty and lowering the glance

As for modesty and lowering the glance, modesty is a fine quality which makes a man turn his face away when something he dislikes happens or when it is something that would have been better left undone. Lowering the eye is to restrain the glance from what human beings naturally find disagreeable. The Prophet was of all people the most modest and the most assiduous in restraining his eyes from looking at peoples private parts. Allah says ``That is hurtful to the Prophet and he is ashamed before you`` 33:53
Abu Saa id al-Khudari said:`´ The Messenger of Allah was more modest than a secluded virgin. When he disliked something, we recognized it in his face.´´ The Prophet was extremely sensitive in his character. He did not say anything to a person which that person would dislike out of his modesty and generosity. Aisha said ,``When the Prophet heard something which he disliked about anyone he would not say , What do you think about so-and -so doing or saying this? He would say, ‘what do you think about a people who do or say this?' so he could forbid it without actually naming the one who had done it.
Anas related that a man came to the Prophet with a trace of saffron on him. The Prophet did not say anything since he never confronted anyone with something they would dislike. When he left he said, `Could you tell him to wash it off? ´It is also related, `Tell him to remove it`. Aisha said in the Sahih, `` The Prophet may Allah bless him and grant him peace was not lewd nor did he use bad language. He did not shout in the marketplace and he did not pay back evil with evil. He forgave and overlooked. Something similar is mentioned as being in the Torah in a transmission from ibn Salam and Abdullah ibn al-Abbas.
Part of his modesty was that he would not stare into anyone’s face and he would use a kunya for someone who pressed him importunately regarding something he disliked. Aisha said, ``I never ever saw the private parts of Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace``.

”En person [förenas] med dem han älskar.”
(Bukhâri)
