Umm ad-Darda' said, "Salman came from al-Mada'in (Ctesiphon) to
Syria to visit us on foot wearing a shirt (kisa') and trousers." Shawdhab
said, "Salman was seen wearing a short with all his hair shaved off and
his large ears showing. He was told, 'You have made yourself ugly.' He
replied, "The real good is the good of the Next World.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "When a man visits his brothers, Allah tells him,
'You have been good and your evening will be good and you can take your
place in the Garden.'"
Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, visited one of the houses of the Ansar and
ate some food with them. When he left, he asked for a place in the house
and some water was sprinkled on a carpet for him. He prayed on it and made
supplication for them.
