Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 49, Hadith 254
Narrated Anas bin Malik: 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.”
“ كَمْ مِنْ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ لاَ يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ مِنْهُمُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
