Many a person with disheveled hair and covered with dust is turned away from the doors (whereas he is held in such a high esteem by Allah) that if he were to adjure in the name of Allah (about anything) Allah would fulfil that.  

مسلم:٢٦٢٢حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ مَدْفُوعٍ بِالأَبْوَابِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How often a disheveled, dusty person is despised and belittled, yet his prayers are answered. If he were to swear an oath by Allah, Allah would fulfill it."  

الحاكم:٧٩٣٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ تَنْبُو عَنْهُ أَعْيَنُ النَّاسِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ»
