ما أظلت الخضراء ولا أقلت الغبراء على رجل أصدق لهجة من أبى ذر
The sky has not shaded and the earth has not carried a man more truthful in speech than Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith Number: 5550
اخبرنا ابو الفضل محمد بن إبراهيم المزني، حدثنا احمد بن سلمة، حدثنا العباس بن عبد العظيم العنبري، حدثنا النضر بن محمد، حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار، حدثنا ابو زميل، عن مالك بن مرثد، عن ابيه، عن ابي ذر، قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ:"ما تقل الغبراء، ولا تظل الخضراء من ذي لهجة اصدق ولا اوفى من ابي ذر، شبيه عيسى ابن مريم"، فقام عمر بن الخطاب فقال: يا رسول الله، فنعرف ذلك له؟ قال:"نعم، فاعرفوه له" (2).
هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم ولم يخرجاه. وقد روي عن عبد الله بن عمرو، وابي الدرداء. اما حديث عبد الله بن عمرو:
[التعليق - من تلخيص الذهبي] ترقيم العلميه 5460 - على شرط مسلم

Malik bin Marthad narrates from his father, who narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The dusty earth has not carried, nor has the green sky shaded, anyone more truthful of tongue or more faithful to his word than Abu Dharr; he resembles Isa bin Maryam." On hearing this Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall we acknowledge this rank for him? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, recognise this rank for him."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr and Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with them). The hadith of Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) is as follows:

Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Apart from the story of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), it is supported by the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) with Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" (4/ 214), Ibn Abi Shaybah (12/ 125), al-'Uqayli in "al-Du'afa' al-Kabir" (1138) and Abu Nu'aym in "Ma'rifat al-Sahabah" (1555). It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah through two routes, both of which have been criticised, but each strengthens the other.
ويشهد له دون قصة عمر بن الخطاب حديثُ أبي هريرة عند ابن سعد في "الطبقات" 4/ 214، وابن أبي شيبة 12/ 125، والعقيلي في "الضعفاء الكبير" (1138)، وأبي نعيم في "معرفة الصحابة" (1555)، من طريقين عن أبي هريرة فيهما مَقالٌ، لكن يشدُّ أحدهما الآخر.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Another supporting report is the mursal narration of Malik bin Dinar with Ibn Sa'd (4/ 214), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you will meet me in the state in which I leave him?" Abu Dharr said: "I." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You have spoken the truth." Then he said: "The green (sky) has not shaded, nor has the dusty (earth) carried, anyone more truthful of tongue than Abu Dharr. Whoever would be pleased to look at the asceticism of 'Isa bin Maryam, let him look at Abu Dharr."

Note / Clarification: For the truthfulness of the tongue of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari on its own there are two supporting reports, from the hadith of Abd Allah bin 'Amr bin al-'As and of Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with them), which will come after this.
