20. Appearance can be Misleading

عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ مَدْفُوعٍ بِالْأَبْوَابِ لو أَقْسَمَ على اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ

Abu Hurayrah (rta) reported that God’s Messenger (sws) said: “Many a person with disheveled hair and laden with dust who are turned away from the doors are such that if they swear by God, God will fulfill their oath.”[1]
