al-Hay-yee (The Shy One)
On the authority of Salmaan al-Faarisee (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) said:
“Verily, your Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, is Hayyee and Generous. When His servant raises his hands to Him He is shy to turn him away empty-handed.”
Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood (1488)

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ – حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَيْمُونٍ صَاحِبَ الأَنْمَاطِ – حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا ” .
