Arabic (Original)
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
He said: Then he passed by us another day, and Abu al-Darda' said: A word from you that will benefit us and not harm you. He said: Yes. We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said to us: You are coming upon your brothers, so put your mounts and your garments in order, so that you may be among the people like a distinguishing mark, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not love obscenity nor indecent display.
