Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us — and the wording is that of Ibn al-Muthanna — they said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: I heard Abu al-Sawwar narrating that he heard 'Imran ibn Husayn narrating from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Modesty does not bring anything but good." Then Bushayr ibn Ka'b said: Indeed, it is written in the wisdom that from it comes dignity and from it comes tranquility. So 'Imran said: I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and you narrate to me from your scriptures?
