[Machine] I dressed Owais Al-Qarni in two pieces of fabric from the bareness.  

«كَسَوْتُ أُوَيْسًا الْقَرَنِيَّ ثَوْبَيْنِ مِنَ الْعُرْيِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, among my followers there are those who are unable to come to their mosques or places of prayer due to nakedness. Their faith prevents them from asking the people for clothing. Uwais Al-Qarani and Furat bin Hayyan Al-Ajli are among them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُ أَوْ مُصَلَّاهُ مِنَ الْعُرْيِ يَحْجِزُهُ إِيمَانُهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ مِنْهُمْ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ وَفُرَاتُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ»  

[Machine] I heard someone speaking and I liked him, so I introduced him to my companions and said, "Do you know a man who used to sit with us like this and this?" A man from the people said, "Yes, I know him, he is Uwais al-Qarni." He said, "Do you know where he lives?" He said, "Yes." He said, "So I went with him until I reached his house. I said to him, 'O brother, what keeps you away from us?' He said, 'Poverty.' And his companions used to mock him and hurt him. He said, 'Take this garment and wear it.' He said, 'No, don't do that, for if they see it on me, they will hurt me.' So I continued with him until he wore it and came out to them. They said, 'Who do you see has deceived him from his garment?' He said, 'So he came and put it down.' He said, 'Do you see?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I came to the gathering and said, 'What do you want from this man? You have hurt him.' He used to borrow a garment from me once and wear it once.' Umar said, 'Did anyone from the Qaranis come here?' Uwais said, 'So that man came.' He said, 'Where are you from?' He said, 'From Yemen.' He said, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Uwais.' He said, 'Who did you leave behind in Yemen?' He said, 'My mother.' He said, 'Was there any whiteness in you that you invoked Allah to remove from you?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Did you ask Allah to remove it from you?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then seek forgiveness for me.' He said, 'Would Uwais seek forgiveness for someone like me, O Amir al-Mu'minin?' He said, 'So he sought forgiveness for him.' He said, 'I said to him, 'You, O brother, do not leave me.' He said, 'So he became smooth towards me.' He said, 'I was informed that Uwais has come to you in Kufa.' He said, 'So that man who used to mock him humiliated him and said, 'What is this among us and we do not know him?' Umar said, 'Indeed.' The man said, 'There is a man among us named Uwais who is mocked.' He said, 'Find him and bring him to me.' He said, 'So that man came to him and said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'A man will come to you from Yemen whose name is Uwais, he will not leave Yemen except for the sake of his mother, and he had a white spot on him, so he invoked Allah and He removed it except for the size of a dirham or a dinar. So whoever among you meets him, ask him to seek forgiveness for you.'" He said, 'So he came to us.' He said, 'I said to him, 'From where are you?' He said, 'From Yemen.' I said, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Uwais.' I said, 'Who did you leave in Yemen?' He said, 'My mother.' I said, 'Was there any whiteness in you that you invoked Allah to remove from you?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Did you ask Allah to remove it from you?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Seek forgiveness for me.' He said, 'Would Uwais seek forgiveness for someone like me, O Amir al-Mu'minin?' He said, 'So he sought forgiveness for him.' He said, 'I said, 'You, O brother, do not leave me.' He said, 'So he became smooth towards me.' He said, 'I was told that Uwais has come to you in Kufa.' He said, 'So that man who used to mock him humiliated him and said, 'What is this among us and we do not know him?' He said, 'Indeed, there is a man among us named Uwais who is mocked.' He said, 'Recognize him and do not recognize him.' He said, 'So that man came to him before his family came. He said to him, 'Uwais, what is this habit of yours? What is the matter with you?' He said, 'I heard Umar saying such and such about you, so seek forgiveness for me, O Uwais.' He said, 'I will not do that until you promise me that you will not mock me anymore and that you will not mention to anyone what you heard from Umar.' He said, 'So he sought forgiveness for him.' He said, 'He became smooth towards me.' He said, 'I was then informed that he had come to Kufa.'

[Machine] I get up and Satan comes and says, “You are having false visions, so sit down.” Then he argues with me about performing the prayer, so I get up. Then he says, “You are having false visions, so sit down.” He said, “If you were alone, would you perform this prayer?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Pray, for you are not having false visions.”  

أَقُومُ فَيَجِيءُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ تُرَائِي فَاجْلِسْ ثُمَّ تُنَازِعُنِي نَفْسِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَأَقُومُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّكَ تُرَائِي فَاجْلِسْ فَقَالَ لَوْ خَلَوْتَ كُنْتَ تُصَلِّي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ صَلِّ فَلَسْتَ تُرَائِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man will be saved from the Fire through the intercession of a person who is not a prophet; he is more than Rabee'ah and Mudar." Al-Hasan said, "They used to think that he was Uthman or Uwais al-Qarni."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ النَّارِ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مَا هُوَ نَبِيٌّ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ أَنَّهُ عُثْمَانُ ؓ أَوْ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ ؓ   

[Machine] He has a long life, Waelak, you would have perished if you went to him. So, convey my greetings to him and tell him to come to me. When he arrived in Kufa, he did not change his travel clothes until he went to him. He saw him in the mosque and did not come close to him, so he said to him, "Seek forgiveness for me, O my cousin." He replied, "May Allah forgive you, O my cousin." He said, "May Allah forgive you, O Uwais ibn Amir, the leader of the faithful, who conveys greetings to you." He said, "Who mentioned me to the leader of the faithful?" He replied, "He mentioned you and ordered me to convey to you, so come to him." He said, "In hearing and obedience to the leader of the faithful." He went to Umar and entered upon him. Umar said to him, "Are you Uwais ibn Amir al-Qarni?" He said, "Yes." Umar said, "You are the one who went with him and prayed to Allah to remove it from you, so He removed it. You said, 'O Allah, leave in my body what I remember Your blessings upon me.' So you left in your body what you remember Allah's blessings upon you?" He said, "And how do you know, O leader of the faithful? By Allah, no human has seen this." He said, "The Messenger of Allah has informed us that there will be in the generations a man named Uwais ibn Amir al-Qarni. He will go out with a wound and will pray to Allah to remove it, so He will remove it from him. He will say, 'O Allah, leave in my body what I remember Your blessings upon me.' So Allah will leave in his body what he remembers Allah's blessings upon him. Whoever among you meets him and is able to seek forgiveness for him, then let him seek forgiveness for him. So seek forgiveness for me, O Uwais ibn Amir." He said, "May Allah forgive you, O leader of the faithful." Umar said, "And may Allah forgive you, O Uwais ibn Amir." When they heard what Umar said about the Messenger of Allah, one man said, "Seek forgiveness for me." Another said, "Seek forgiveness for me, O Uwais." When they crowded upon him, he left and was not seen until the hour (end of the day).  

لَهُ عُمَرُ وَيْلَكَ هَلَكْتَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَمُرْهُ فَلْيَقْدَمْ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْكُوفَةَ لَمْ يَضَعْ عَنْهُ ثِيَابَ سَفَرِهِ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ فَرَآهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمْ يَأْتَمَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا ابْنَ عَمِّي فَقَالَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّي قَالَ وَأَنْتَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ قَالَ وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِي لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ هُوَ ذَكَرَكَ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُبْلِغَكَ فَلْتَنْفُذْ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَوَفَدَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَنْتَ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْقَرَنِيُّ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَرَجَ بِكَ وَضَحٌ فَدَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ ﷻ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهُ عَنْكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ فَقُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ دَعْ لِي فِي جَسَدِي مَا أَذْكُرُ [279] بِهِ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ فَتَرَكَ فِي جَسَدِكَ مَا تَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى هَذَا بِشْرٌ؟ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي التَّابِعِينَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَرْنٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْقَرَنِيُّ يَخْرُجُ بِهِ وَضَحٌ فَيَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهُ فَيُذْهِبَهُ عَنْهُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ دَعْ لِي فِي جَسَدِي مَا أَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ فَيَدَعُ لَهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ مَا يَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ واسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ قَالَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ وَأَنْتَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا مِنْ عُمَرَ مَا قَالَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَجُلٌ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي وَقَالَ آخَرُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أُوَيْسُ فَلَمَّا كَثُرُوا عَلَيْهِ انْسَابَ فَذَهَبَ فَمَا رُئِيَ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ  

[Machine] "To show kindness to his mother by presenting it to the Prophet ﷺ"  

أَنْ يَقْدَمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِرُّهُ بِأُمِّهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from my nation will enter Paradise with the intercession of a man whose good deeds surpass those of Rabee'ah and Mudar." Hisham said, "Hawshab informed me that Al-Hasan said it was Uwais Al-Qarni." Abu Bakr said, "I asked a man from the people of Uwais, 'How did this news reach him?' He replied, 'It is the favor of Allah, which He bestows upon whomever He wills.'" Abu Bakr added, "Uwais died in Sijistan, and when he was found, he had his own burial shroud."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ» قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَأَخْبَرَنِي حَوْشَبٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ هُوَ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِ أُوَيْسٍ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ بَلَغَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَمَاتَ أُوَيْسٌ بِسِجِسْتَانَ قَالَ فَوُجِدَ مَعَهُ أَكْفَانٌ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ  

[Machine] While I am on a scorching day at midday on the bank of the Euphrates, I see a man with a thick beard and a repulsive appearance. He is disheveled, and his head is not shaved. He is wearing two garments, one of which I believe is made of wool. He does not wash either of the garments in water, so I assumed that he is the one referred to in the saying, "Our Lord's promise shall come true" [Quran 17:108]. He asked me, "Who guided you to me?" I replied, "Allah guided me to you." He then extended his hand towards me, but I did not see his hand extending towards me. I do not know what hindered it from reaching me, so I wept at what I saw. He then said to me, "How are you, Harim bin Hayyan? How are you, my brother?" I said, "May Allah have mercy on you. How did you know that I am Harim and we have not seen each other before?" He said, "My soul recognized your soul." He then took me by the hand and we both wept. He said to me, "O Harim bin Hayyan, your father Adam has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, Nuh has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, Ibrahim, the beloved of the Most Merciful, has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, Musa, the liberator by the grace of the Most Merciful, has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, Muhammad ﷺ has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, Abu Bakr, the Caliph of the Muslims, has passed away. O Harim bin Hayyan, my dear and chosen friend, Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah have mercy on him, has passed away." He said, "May Allah have mercy on you. Umar has not died." He said, "That was towards the end of Umar's caliphate." He then said, "And both you and I are among the deceased. If you have knowledge, O Harim, your father has passed away, either to Paradise or to Hellfire." I said, "Please tell me the information you received from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "I did not hear anything directly from him, but I heard it from those who heard it from him." I said, "Please tell me what you heard from those who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "I dislike opening this door for myself to be a judge, a mufti, or a preacher. There are other concerns within myself." He said, "Recite to me verses from the Quran." I said, "May Allah bless you," and I recited the verses: "Ha, Meem. By the clear Book. Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind]. On that night, it is made distinct." [Quran 44:1-4] until I reached the verse: "Except for those whom Allah has mercy upon. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful." [Quran 44:42] He then took a deep sigh and fell unconscious. He said, "Uwais has passed away." Allah has ordained for him to remain in this state as long as He wills. He then regained consciousness and said, "O my brother, I have been in distress ever since I was with these people. Solitude is dearer to me. Do not ask about me after this day. You are always in my thoughts, and if we meet in the afterlife, remember me for I will remember you." I said, "Please make dua for me." He said, "O Allah, my brother claims that he has visited me for Your sake and loved me for Your sake, so unite his affairs for him and admit him into Your abode of peace." He then took the road and we both wept. We did not see each other except in dreams.  

فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ بِشَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ آدَمَ كَثِّ اللِّحْيَةِ كَرِيهِ الْمَنْظَرِ أَشْعَثَ غَيْرِ مَحْلُوقِ الرَّأْسِ أَرَاهُ يَعْنِي مَجْزُوزَ الشَّعْرِ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ صُوفٌ أَحَدُهُمَا إِزَارٌ وَالْآخَرُ رِدَاءٌ وَلَا يَغْسِلُ أَحَدَ الثَّوْبَيْنِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَقُمْتُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ {سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنْ كَانَ وَعَدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولًا} [الإسراء 108] فَقَالَ مَنْ دَلَّكَ عَلَيَّ؟ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ ﷻ دَلَّنِي عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ فَمَدَدْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيَّ فَلَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيَّ فَمَا أَدْرِي مَا حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَبَكَيْتُ لِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لِي كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا أَخِي؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي هَرِمٌ وَلَمْ نَتَرَاءَى؟ قَالَ إِنَّ نَفْسِي عَرَفَتْ نَفْسَكَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ بَكَى فَبَكَيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ أَبُوكَ آدَمُ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ نُوحٌ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ مُوسَى نَجِيُّ الرَّحْمَنَ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ خَلِيفَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَا هَرِمُ بْنَ حَيَّانَ مَاتَ خَلِيلِي وَصَفِيِّي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَمُتْ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ فِي آخِرِ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ وأنا وأنْتَ فِي الأمْواتِ إنْ كُنْتَ تَفْقَهُ يا هَرِمُ، ماتَ أبُوكَ فَإمّا إلى الجَنَّةِ وإمّا إلى النّارِ، قُلْتُ: حَدِّثْنا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ما سَمِعْتَ مِن رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قالَ: لَمْ أسْمَعْ مِنهُ شَيْئًا ولَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ مِمَّنْ سَمِعَ مِنهُ قالَ: قُلْتُ: حَدِّثْنِي رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ قالَ: إنِّي أكْرَهُ أنْ أفْتَحَ عَلى نَفْسِي هَذا البابَ أنْ أكُونَ قاضِيًا أوْ مُفْتِيًا أوْ مُحَدِّثًا، إنَّ فِي النَّفْسِ شاغِلًا قالَ: قُلْتُ: اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ آياتٍ مِنَ القُرْآنِ قالَ: قالَ رَبِّي تَبارَكَ وتَعالى، وأصْدَقُ القَوْلِ قَوْلُهُ وأفْضَلُ الكَلامِ كَلامُهُ وأصْدَقُ الحَدِيثِ حَدِيثُهُ، ثُمَّ قالَ: أعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ العَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الرَّجِيمِ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿حم والكِتابِ المُبِينِ إنّا أنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ إنّا كُنّا مُنْذِرِينَ فِيها يُفْرَقُ﴾ [الدخان ٢] حَتّى انْتَهى إلى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ﴿إلّا مَن رَحِمَ اللَّهُ إنَّهُ هُوَ العَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ﴾ [الدخان ٤٢] قالَ: فَشَهِقَ شَهْقَةً ثُمَّ سَقَطَ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيْهِ قالَ: فَقُلْتُ: ماتَ أُوَيْسٌ فَلَبِثَ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ فِي غَشْيِهِ ثُمَّ أفاقَ فَقالَ: أيْ أخِي إنِّي لَمْ أزَلْ فِي غَمٍّ ما كُنْتُ مَعَ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ، الوَحْدَةُ أحَبُّ إلَيَّ لا تَسْألْ عَنِّي بَعْدَ يَوْمِكَ هَذا إنَّكَ مِنِّي عَلى بالٍ وإنْ تَأْتِ بِنا الدّارُ فاذْكُرْنِي فَإنِّي سَأذْكُرُكَ قالَ: قُلْتُ: ادْعُ لِي بِدَعَواتٍ قالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إنَّ أخِي هَذا زَعَمَ أنَّهُ زارَنِي فِيكَ وأحَبَّنِي فِيكَ فاجْمَعْ لَهُ أمْرَهُ وأدْخِلْهُ فِي دارِكَ دارِ السَّلامِ قالَ: ثُمَّ أخَذَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وهُوَ يَبْكِي وأنا أبْكِي قالَ: ثُمَّ لَمْ نَتَراءى أنا وهُوَ إلّا أنْ نَتَراءى فِي النَّوْمِ  

[Machine] Indeed, Uwais al-Qarni used to give charity with his own clothes, to the extent that he would sit naked because he couldn't find anything to cover himself until Friday.  

«إِنَّ أُوَيْسًا الْقَرَنِيَّ لَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِثِيَابِهِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ عُرْيَانًا لَا يَجِدُ مَا يَرُوحُ فِيهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ»  

[Machine] Some of us, if we were to return and find his grave, we would seek forgiveness for him. But when we returned, there was neither a grave nor a trace of him.  

بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ رَجَعْنَا فَعَلَّمْنَا قَبْرَهُ فَنَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ فَرَجَعْنَا فَإِذَا لَا قَبْرَ وَلَا أَثَرَ لَهُ  

Is there amongst you Uwais b. 'Amir? (He continued finding him out) until he met Uwais. He said: Are you Uwais b., Amir? He said: Yes. He said: Are you from the tribe of Qaran? He said: Yes. He (Hadrat) 'Umar (again) said: Did you suffer from leprosy and then you were cured from it but for the space of a dirham? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: Is your mother (living)? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There would come to you Uwais b. Amir with the reinforcement from the people of Yemen. (He would be) from Qaran, (the branch) of Murid. He had been suffering from leprosy from which he was cured but for a spot of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been excellent. If he were to take an oath in the name of Allah, He would honour that. And if it is possible for you, then do ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from your Lord). So he (Uwais) begged forgiveness for him. Umar said: Where do you intend to go? He said: To Kufa. He ('Umar) said: Let me write a letter for you to its governor, whereupon he (Uwais) said: I love to live amongst the poor people. When it was the next year, a person from among the elite (of Kufa) performed Hajj and he met Umar. He asked him about Uwais. He said: I left him in a state with meagre means of sustenance. (Thereupon) Umar said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There would come to you Uwais b. 'Amir, of Qaran, a branch (of the tribe) of Murid, along with the reinforcement of the people of Yemen. He had been suffering from leprosy which would have been cured but for the space of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been very kind. If he would take an oath in the name of Allah (for something) He would honour it. Ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from Allah) in case it is possible for you. So he came to Uwais and said.: Beg forgiveness (from Allah) for me. He (Uwais) said: You have just come from a sacred journey (Hajj) ; you, therefore, ask forgiveness for me. He (the person who had performed Hajj) said: Ask forgiveness for me (from Allah). He (Uwais again) said: You have just come from the sacred journey, so you ask forgiveness for me. (Uwais further) said: Did you meet Umar? He said: Yes. He (Uwais) then begged forgiveness for him (from Allah). So the people came to know about (the status of religious piety) of Uwais. He went away (from that place). Usair said: His clothing consisted of a mantle, and whosoever saw him said: From where did Uwais get this mantle? (Using translation from Muslim 2542c)   

كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ إِذَا أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَمْدَادٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ سَأَلَهُمْ فَقَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْقَرَنِيُّ؟ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى أُوَيْسٍ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنْتَ مِنْ مُرَادٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرَنٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَانَ بِكَ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأْتَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَلَكَ وَالِدَةٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ مَعَ أَمْدَادِ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ مُرَادٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرَنٍ كَانَ بِهِ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَةٌ هُوَ بِهَا بَرٌّ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ [281] فَافْعَلْ» فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ الْكُوفَةَ قَالَ أَلَا أَكْتُبُ لَكَ إِلَى عَامِلِهَا فَيَسْتَوْصِيَ بِكَ؟ قَالَ لَأَنْ أَكُونَ فِي غَبْرَاءِ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ حَجَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ فَوَافَقَ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أُوَيْسٍ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتَهُ؟ قَالَ رَثَّ الْبَيْتِ قَلِيلَ الْمَتَاعِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ مَعَ أَمْدَادِ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ مُرَادٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرْنٍ كَانَ بِهِ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَةٌ هُوَ بِهَا بَرٌّ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ فَافْعَلْ» فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْكُوفَةَ أَتَى أُوَيْسًا فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ أَنْتَ أَحْدَثُ عَهْدًا بِسَفَرٍ صَالِحٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ لَقِيتَ عُمَرَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ فَفَطِنَ لَهُ النَّاسُ فَانْطَلَقَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ قَالَ أُسَيْرٌ وَكَسَوْتُهُ بُرْدًا فَكَانَ إِذَا رَآهُ إِنْسَانٌ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِأُوَيْسٍ هَذَا الْبُرْدُ؟  

[Machine] "And another person said to me, 'I have extra provisions, so he accepted them from me and performed the pilgrimage with them.'"
