[Machine] "When it was the day of Siffin, a caller from the companions of Muawiyah called out to the companions of Ali, 'Is Uwais al-Qarni among you?' They replied, 'Yes.' He then struck his mount until he reached them, and then said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The best of the followers is Uwais al-Qarni."' The Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary."

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ صِفِّينَ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَصْحَابَ عَلِيٍّ أَفِيكُمْ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَضَرَبَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَيْرُ التَّابِعِينَ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
