Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20678 — What is mentioned on the virtue

Qays bin Bishr al-Taghlibi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: My father used to sit in the gathering of Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) in Damascus. In Damascus there was also a reclusive Ansari Companion called Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah (may Allah be pleased with him). He mixed very little with people. When he finished his prayer, he would go home glorifying Allah and declaring His oneness. Once he passed by us while we were sitting with Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him). He greeted us, and Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Tell us something that will benefit us and will do you no harm to tell." He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who spends on horses in the path of Allah is like one who stretches out his hands with charity and never withholds them." Then another day he passed by us and greeted us, and Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Tell us something that will benefit us and will do you no harm." He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are about to arrive at your brothers, so put your saddles and your clothing in order, so that you stand out among people like a beauty mark. Allah Almighty does not love obscenity or indecent behaviour."
