Abu Ahmad al-Hasan ibn `Abd Allah ibn Sa`id al-`Askari said: `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Karim said: Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rahman al-Barqi said: `Amr ibn Abu Salamah said: I read to Abu `Umar al-San`ani on the authority of al-`Ala’ ibn `Abd al-Rahman, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that The Messenger of Allah said: There are many beggars with unkempt hair, who are covered in dust, and who wear nothing but two tattered garments, who are turned away when they knock on doors. If they swear by Allah, the Mighty and High, He will keep their oath.
