عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ مِمَّا أَدْرَكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلاَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ: إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحْيِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ»[1].

Abu MasꜤūd narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
What people have learnt of the teachings of early prophethood includes: If you feel no shame, then do what you want.
Summary of Meaning
People learnt certain values from early prophets, and these were passed on to later generations. One of these values is that a person who feels no shame may do what he likes. This means that a sense of shame stops a person doing many unbecoming things. Hence, when a person does not have that sense, nothing will stop him from doing what he wants.
