وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَائِرًا فَرَأَى رَجُلًا شَعِثًا قد تفرق شعرُه فَقَالَ: «مَا كَانَ يَجِدُ هَذَا مَا يُسَكِّنُ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ؟» وَرَأى رجلا عَلَيْهِ ثيابٌ وسِخةٌ فَقَالَ: «مَا كَانَ يَجِدُ هَذَا مَا يَغْسِلُ بِهِ ثَوْبَهُ؟» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
English Translation
Jabir said God’s messenger came to pay them a visit, and seeing a dishevelled man whose hair was untidy he said, “Could this man not find something to make his hair lie down ?” He saw a man wearing dirty clothes and said, “Could this man not find something to wash his garment with?” Ahmad and Nasa’i transmitted it.
