It is reported from him that he narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you send a messenger to me, send someone whose face is good and whose name is good."
Imam al-Bazzar and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it. The chain of Imam al-Tabarani contains Umar bin Rashid, whom al-Ijli declared thiqah (trustworthy) while the majority of the imams declared him da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy), and the route of Imam al-Bazzar is da'if (weak).
