Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ، وَالإِيمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْبَذَاءُ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ، وَالْجَفَاءُ فِي النَّارِ‏.‏

Sa‘id ibn Sulayman related to us: Hushaim related to us, from Mansur, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, from the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: ‘Modesty is part of faith, and faith is in the Garden. Foul speech is part of coarseness, and coarseness is in the Fire.’

  • The Arabic contrasts haya’ (modesty) with badha’ (foul or obscene speech) and jafa’ (coarseness/roughness).
