Abdullah ibn Buraydah said:
He came to him and said: I have not come to you to visit you. But you and I heard a tradition from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I hope you may have some knowledge of it.
He asked: What is it? He replied: So and so. He said: Why do I see you dishevelled when you are the ruler of this land?
He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden us to indulge much in luxury.
He said: Why do I see you unshod? He replied: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to command us to go barefoot at times.
