Umm ad-Darda' said, "Salman came from al-Mada'in (Ctesiphon) to Syria to visit us on foot wearing a shirt (kisa') and trousers." Shawdhab said, "Salman was seen wearing a short with all his hair shaved off and his large ears showing. He was told, 'You have made yourself ugly.' He replied, "The real good is the good of the Next World.'"
عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ زَارَنَا سَلْمَانُ مِنَ الْمَدَائِنِ إِلَى الشَّامِ مَاشِيًا وَعَلَيْهِ كِسَاءٌ وَانْدَرْوَرْدُ قَالَ يَعْنِي سَرَاوِيلَ مُشَمَّرَةً قَالَ ابْنُ شَوْذَبٍ رُؤِيَ سَلْمَانُ وَعَلَيْهِ كِسَاءٌ مَطْمُومُ الرَّأْسِ سَاقِطُ الأُذُنَيْنِ يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَرْفَشَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ شَوَّهْتَ نَفْسَكَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرُ الاخِرَةِ
