حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ ، أَحَدَّثَكُمُ الْأَعْمَشُ ، سَمِعْتُ
شَقِيقًا ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
حُذَيْفَةَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ دَلًّا وَسَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ ، مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ ، لَا نَدْرِي مَا يَصْنَعُ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِذَا خَلَا " .
Narrated Hudhaifa: From among the people, Ibn Um `Abd greatly resembled Allah's Apostles in solemn gate and good appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The chapter heading established by Imam Bukhari rahimahullah is derived from a hadith which he himself has narrated. Thus, Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma reports that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
“Good character, good appearance, and moderation are one twenty-fifth part of prophethood.”
(al-Adab al-Mufrad, Hadith: 468)
(2)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar, referencing Gharib al-Hadith, has written:
The students of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu would visit him and observe his statements, actions, and movements, and would try to emulate him.
(Fath al-Bari: 10/627)
From this hadith, it is understood that a person should strive to adopt the character of accomplished and virtuous people.
And Allah knows best.
