Friday Night Faith Circles Episode 35 - Names of Allah: Al Sittir | The Concealer

‘Verily, God the Almighty and Majestic is Modest and Concealing; and He loves modesty and concealment.” (Abu Dawud)
In the hadith above, the Prophet ﷺ tells us that Allah is ‘gracious/shy,’ bearing in mind that His haya comes from a place of honour, generosity, and majesty, not meekness or submissiveness. He is also al-Sittir, the One Who conceals the faults and shortcomings of His servants, and He loves those who conceal the faults of others.
