عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمِ رَحَلَ إِلَى فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَمُدُّ نَاقَةً لَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَتِكَ زَائِرًا، إِنَّمَا أَتَيْتُكَ لِحَدِيثٍ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكَ مِنْهُ عِلْمٌ، فَرَآهُ شَعِثًا فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ شَعِثًا وَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الْبَلَدِ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْإِرْفَاهِ وَرَآهُ حَافِيًا، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحْتَفِيَ أَحْيَانًا
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Buraidah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a companion went to Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was in Egypt. When he reached him, he was feeding his she-camel. The visitor said: "I have not come to meet you, I have only come for a hadith which has reached me from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I hope that you also know something about it." When he saw him with disheveled hair, he asked: "What is the reason that I see you with disheveled hair, even though you are the governor of this city?" He replied: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid us from too much luxury and comfort." He also saw him in a state where he was not wearing shoes, and he explained the reason for this: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes ordered us to take off our shoes."
