Hadith #528
Arabic Text
قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ كَلِمَةً مِنْكَ تَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا تَضُرُّكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَنَا إِنَّكُمْ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى إِخْوَانِكُمْ فَأَصْلِحُوا رِحَالَكُمْ وَلِبَاسَكُمْ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا فِي النَّاسِ كَأَنَّكُمْ شَامَةٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ
English Translation
Then he passed by us another day, and Abū al-Dardāʾ said, 'A word from you that benefits us and does not harm you.' He said, 'Yes. We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to us, "You are coming to your brethren, so fix your mounts and your clothing until you are like a beauty mark among the people, for Allah عز وجل does not love obscenity or deliberate obscenity."'
