حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أُسَيْرِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ، وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَسْخَرُ بِأُوَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هَلْ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَرَنِيِّينَ؟ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ قَالَ: «إِنَّ رَجُلًا يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ، لَا يَدَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ غَيْرَ أُمٍّ لَهُ، قَدْ كَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ، فَدَعَا اللهَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ عَنْهُ، إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ الدِّينَارِ أَوِ الدِّرْهَمِ، فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ».

A delegation from Kufa came to 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ and there was a person amongst them who jeered at Uwais رضی اللہ عنہ. Thereupon Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Is there amongst us one from Qaran? That person came and Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Verily Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) has said: There would come to you a person from Yemen who would be called Uwais and he would leave none in Yemen (behind him) except his mother, and he would have the whiteness (due to leprosy) and he supplicated Allah and it was cured except for the size of a dinar or dirham. He who amongst you meets him should ask him to supplicate for forgiveness (from Allah) for you.
