that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "How many are there with dishevelled hair, covered with dust, possessing two cloths, whom no one pays any mind to - if he swears by Allah then He shall fulfill it. Among them is Al-Bara bin Malik."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمْ مِنْ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ لاَ يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ مِنْهُمُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ  

[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."  

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

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. (Using translation from Muslim 2622)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ»  

"رُبَّ أَشْعثَ أَغْبر، لَوْ أَقْسَم علَى اللَّهِ لأَبرَّهُ".  

"رُبَّ أَشْعثَ أَغْبر ذِى طِمْريْن تَنْبُو عنْهُ أَعْيُنُ النَّاسِ لَوْ أَقْسم علَى اللَّهِ لأَبرَّهُ".  

"رُبَّ أَشْعثَ أَغْبر ذِى طِمْريْن مِن أُمَّتى يطُوفُ علَى الأَبْوابِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمةُ واللُّقْمتَانِ لَوْ أَقْسم علَى اللَّهِ لأَبرَّةُ".  

"كَمْ مِنْ أَشعثَ أَغْبَرَ ذِي طِمْرَين لَا يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ، لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى الله لأَبَرَّهُ مِنْهُم البَرَاءُ بن مَالِك" (*).
