عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
«رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ مَدْفُوعٍ بِالْأَبْوَابِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ».

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Perhaps a disheveled, rejected person at the doors, if he were to swear by Allah, He would fulfill his oath."

Authentic Narrated by Muslim Sahīh Muslim - 2622

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that among people there are those whose hair is tangled and dusty, who do not oil it or wash it frequently. They have no status in the eyes of people, and they are pushed away from doors and rejected out of contempt. However, if they were to swear an oath, Allah would fulfill it in honor of them, ensuring that their request is granted and protecting them from breaking their oath, due to their virtue and status with Allah.
