Al-Hayyu - Modesty, as a divine attribute, is a perfect quality befitting none but Him and suits His majesty and greatness to the exclusion of all creation. This modesty is in no way similar to modesty displayed by any of His creatures, for it denotes His all-encompassing mercy, perfect grace and kindness, and great forgiveness and forbearance.

Occurrence: This name is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an but rather in the Prophet’s Sunnah (tradition).

Evidence: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Your Lord is modest and generous and would never turn the hands of someone without gain when he raises them to Him [in supplication].” (Reported by At-Tirmidhee and Abu Daawood)
