English translation

3802. Abū Dharr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no one more truthful in speech, nor in fulfilling of promises, that sky has covered and the earth has carried, than Abū Dharr, the likeness of 'Eisā bin Mariam." So 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said, as if out of envy: "So do you acknowledge that for him, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "Yes, so acknowledge it." (Ḥasan) [He said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb from this route. Some of them reported this Ḥadīth and said: "Abū Dharr walks upon the earth with the asceticism of 'Eisā bin Mariam [peace be upon him]."

٣٨٠٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْعَبَّاسُ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ ، عَنْ ‌مَالِكِ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ» وَلَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ مِنْ ذِي لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ وَلَا أَوْفَى مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، شِبْهَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ كَالْحَاسِدِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفَتَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَاعْرِفُوهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ: أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَمْشِي فِي الْأَرْضِ بِزُهْدِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ.

Commentary

Abū Dharr was a self disciplined and a satisfied person. He led a very simple life. He was indifferent to worldly affairs. He never loved wealth and worldly status. He was a hospitable man by nature.
