A man who thought of himself as unpleasant in appearance rewarded by Allah for his sincerity

A black man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a black man with a foul odor and an ugly face, and I have no wealth. If I fight these people ˹in the path of Allah˺ until I am killed, where will I be?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "In Paradise." So he fought until he was killed.

Then the Prophet ﷺ came to him and said, "Allah has enlightened your face, sweetened your fragrance, and increased your wealth." And he said to him or to someone else, "I have seen his wife from the beautiful black-eyed maidens stripping off her garment of silk to cover him.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَسْوَدَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مُنْتِنُ الرِّيحِ قَبِيحُ الْوَجْهِ لَا مَالَ لِي فَإِنْ أَنَا قَاتَلْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ فَأَيْنَ أَنَا؟ قَالَ «فِي الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «قَدْ بَيَّضَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَكَ وَطَيَّبَ رِيحَكَ وَأَكْثَرَ مَالَكَ» وَقَالَ لِهَذَا أَوْ لِغَيْرِهِ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ زَوْجَتَهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ نَازَعَتْهُ جُبَّةً لَهُ مِنْ صُوفٍ تَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ جُبَّتِهِ»
