English Translation
Khuraym ibn Fatik reported that he came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: "O Khuraym ibn Fatik, were it not for two traits in you, you would be the ideal man." He said: "What are they? May my father be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah — one would be enough for me." He said: "Growing your hair long and trailing your lower garment." So Khuraym went and cut his hair and shortened his lower garment.
