the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
26. Bashfulness and Modesty: Abu Ayoub al-

‘Four (traits) are from the practice of the
Messengers; modesty, using perfume and
siwak (tooth stick) and marriage’ (Tirmidthi)
A’ishah said: ‘A woman asked the Prophet
(peace be upon him) about the bath which is
taken at the end of the menstrual period. The
Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘Purify
yourself with a piece of cloth scented with
musk’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) felt
shy and turned his face. A’ishah said: ‘I pulled
her to myself and told her what the Prophet
(peace be upon him) meant” (Bukhari 313)
