And Rasullullah (ﷺ) said: "Leave him alone, because verily, Hayaa (modesty) is from Imaan (It's from Faith)". And if we could identify one Companion from the Prophet's (ﷺ) Companions, that truly exemplified Hayaa in every single aspect of his life, it would definitely be Uthman ibn Affan (May Allah be pleased with him). Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) was someone, who, like Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) and the Prophet (ﷺ), he never worshipped idols before Islam, he never drank alcohol, and in fact, there was something else very powerful about Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) - He was extremely handsome. In fact, he resembled the Prophet (ﷺ) more than any other Companion. Abdurrahman ibn Hazm (May Allah be pleased with him), he said 'I've never seen a person more handsome than Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him).' He said that, 'if you stared at him, if your gaze came upon him, you would not want to remove your gaze because of how beautiful he was (May Allah be pleased with him)' - and that's because he looked like the Prophet (ﷺ), and in fact that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Ruqayya, his daughter, (May Allah be pleased with her), he said to her that 'nobody resembles your father (Rasullullah ﷺ), and your grandfather, Ibrahim (upon him be peace), as much as your husband, Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him)'. So what that tells you is, and this is a very important fact, that before Islam, many, many women wanted him, in fact, he was approached in many different circumstances, in many different instances, and Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) always abandoned Zina (fornication), he never came anywhere close to Zina (fornication), although, Islam had still not come to Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him). And that is because he had the strong sense of modesty, and you know, many times we neglect modesty, in fact, some of you might be watching this on Facebook right now, or watching this on some social networking site, and this is where there's an outlet of immodesty, you know, even for Muslims...as well as non-Muslims, and SubhaanAllah! We look at Uthman's (May Allah be pleased with him) life and we can truly learn this blessed character...he was extremely beautiful, extremely handsome, but with that, Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) was extremely soft in his mannerisms, he was very soft spoken, he was not arrogant, he did not boast about his looks (May Allah be pleased with him) and infact, he was so modest that Al Hassan (May Allah be pleased with him) says 'when Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) would change his clothes, even behind closed doors, he would not stand up straight, he would do it while he was bending down even if there was nobody in the room with him just because of the amount of modesty that he had...and he was so soft-spoken (May Allah be pleased with him) that anytime you wanted to hear something that he had to say, you would have to lean in so you could properly hear him, just because of his softness'.
