حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكَ مِنْهُ عِلْمٌ فَرَآهُ شَعِثًا فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ شَعِثًا وَأَنْتَ، ، أَمِيرُ الْبَلَدِ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْإِرْفَاهِ " (١) وَرَآهُ حَافِيًا، فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ حَافِيًا؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحْتَفِيَ أَحْيَانًا " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
A companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) traveled to Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) because he lived in Egypt. When he reached him, Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) was pulling his she-camel. The visitor said, "I have not come to meet you just for the sake of meeting; I have only come to ask you about a hadith which I have learned is related to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and I hope that you have knowledge of it." The visitor saw that Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) appeared disheveled, so he asked, "Despite being the governor of the city, why do you appear in such a disheveled state?" He replied, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade us from living in excessive luxury." Then the visitor saw that Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) was barefoot and asked, "What is the reason that you are also seen barefoot?" He replied, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded us to sometimes wear shoes and sometimes go without."
