حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَوْلَى، أَنَسٍ ـ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ ـ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنَ الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي خِدْرِهَا.

Narrated Abu Sa`id:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was more shy (from Haya': pious shyness from committing religeous indiscretions) than a veiled virgin girl. (See Hadith No. 762, Vol. 4)
