ahmad:23969 – Yazīd b. Hārūn > al-Jurayrī > ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah

[Machine] A man from the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ traveled to Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd while he was in Egypt. He arrived at him while Fadalah was busy feeding his camel, so the man said, "I did not come to visit you, but rather I came to you for a conversation that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I hoped that you have knowledge of it." Fadalah saw him with disheveled hair and said, "Why do I see you with disheveled hair while you are the governor of the city?" The man replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to advise us against excessive luxury." Then Fadalah saw him barefoot and said, "Why do I see you barefoot?" The man replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to occasionally practice asceticism."  

أحمد:٢٣٩٦٩ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَحَلَ إِلَى فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَمُدُّ نَاقَةً لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ زَائِرًا إِنَّمَا أَتَيْتُكَ لِحَدِيثٍ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكَ مِنْهُ عِلْمٌ فَرَآهُ شَعِثًا فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ شَعِثًا وَأَنْتَأَمِيرُ الْبَلَدِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْإِرْفَاهِ وَرَآهُ حَافِيًا فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ حَافِيًا؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحْتَفِيَ أَحْيَانًا

But you and I heard a tradition from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I hope you may have some knowledge of it. He asked: What is it? He replied: So and so. He said: Why do I see you dishevelled when you are the ruler of this land? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden us to indulge much in luxury. He said: Why do I see you unshod? He replied: The Prophet ﷺ used to command us to go barefoot at times.
