EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) tells us about the shyness of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was so shy that he was even shier than a virgin behind her veil. This means that he was very modest and humble in his behavior. Whenever he saw something which he disliked, it could easily be seen on his face. This teaches us to always remain humble and modest in our behavior and to not let our emotions get the best of us when we see something we don't like. We should also strive to control our facial expressions so as not to give away what we are feeling or thinking at any given moment.
