Narrated Jarir ibn 'Abdi’llah reports:
"I was brought before ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be well pleased with him), whereupon Jarir discarded his cloak and walked in his loincloth, so he said to him: 'Pick up your cloak!' ‘Umar then said to the group: 'I have not seen any man more handsome in form than Jarir, except what we have been told about the appearance of Joseph, the Champion of Truth (peace be upon him)'!”

whose color is apparent and whose scent is not'.”
