English Translation

Jarir ibn 'Abdi’llah reports: "I was brought before ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be well pleased with him), whereupon Jarir discarded his cloak and walked in his loincloth, so he said to him: 'Pick up your cloak!' ‘Umar then said to the group: 'I have not seen any man more handsome in form than Jarir, except what we have been told about the appearance of Joseph, the Champion of Truth (peace be upon him)'!”
