Volume 1, Book 8, Number 463:
Narrated Abu Waqid al-Laithi:
While Allah's Apostle was sitting in the mosque (with some people) three men came, two of them
came in front of Allah's Apostle and the third one went away, and then one of them found a place in
the circle and sat there while the second man sat behind the gathering, and the third one went away.
When Allah's Apostle finished his preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you about these three persons? One
of them betook himself to Allah and so Allah accepted him and accommodated him; the second felt
shy before Allah so Allah did the same for him and sheltered him in His Mercy (and did not punish
him), while the third turned his face from Allah, and went away, so Allah turned His face from him
likewise.
