[AI] The people of Kufa came as a delegation to ʿUmar, and among them was a man who used to mock Uways. ʿUmar said, “Is there anyone here from the Qaranis?” So that man came. ʿUmar said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: ‘A man will come to you from Yemen, called Uways. He will leave behind in Yemen no one but a mother of his. He had a white patch on him, and he supplicated Allah, and He removed it from him except for the place of a dinar or a dirham. Whoever among you meets him, let him ask him to seek forgiveness for you.’”

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَسْخَرُ بِأُوَيْسٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَلْ هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَرَنِيِّينَ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ لاَ يَدَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ غَيْرَ أُمٍّ لَهُ قَدْ كَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ عَنْهُ إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ الدِّينَارِ أَوِ الدِّرْهَمِ فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ
