Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: The earth has not carried anyone, nor has the sky shaded anyone, more truthful and more fulfilling of promises than Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. He resembles Sayyiduna Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him).

The narrator states: Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, should we introduce him in this manner? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, you should introduce him in this way.
