حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْحَارِثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ الْبَذَاذَةُ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الْبَذَاذَةُ الْقَشَافَةُ يَعْنِي التَّقَشُّفَ ‏.‏

Kathir ibn ‘Ubayd al-Himsi narrated to us; Ayyub ibn Suwayd narrated to us, from Usamah ibn Zayd, from ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Umamah al-Harithi, from his father, who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Untidiness is part of faith.” He explained: Untidiness here means a rough, austere appearance—that is, self-denial.
