حَيِىٌّ

Having حَيَاء [i. e. shame, shyness, bashfulness, pudency, or modesty]; (K;) particle n. of حَيِىَ as synonym with استحيى; of the measure فَعِيلٌ: (Msb:) feminine حَيِيَّةٌ. (TA.) The saying of I'Ab, اَللّٰهُ حَيِىٌّ, means God is one who acts with others in the manner of him who has حَيَاء; for حَيَاء in its proper sense is not ascribable to Him: (Mgh:) or one who leaves undone evil deeds, and does good deeds. (Er-Rághib.)
