يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْأَجْرَبُ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي هَبَّارٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ عُوَيْمِرَ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ خُنَاسَةَ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَشْهَلَ أَقْنَى يَخْضِبُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَلَنْسُوَةً مُضَرَّبَةً صَغِيرَةً وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ عِمَامَةً قَدْ أَلْقَاهَا عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ» قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَسَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا كَانَ مَعِي يَقُولُ لَهُ مُذْ كَمْ رَأَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُهُ مُنْذُ أَكْثَرِ مِنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ جَوْرَبَانِ وَنَعْلَانِ قَالَ «وَكَانَ أَتَى عَلَى أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةُ سَنَةٍ»

✧ He was called Abu Ishaq al-Ajrab, a freedman of Banu Habbar al-Qurashi. He said: 'I saw Abu al-Darda' Uwaymir b. Qays b. Khunasah, the companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He had eyes with a reddish tinge and a prominent nose, and he dyed with yellow. I saw on him a small padded cap, and I saw on him a turban which he had thrown over his shoulders.' Al-Abbas said: 'I heard a man who was with me say to him, "Since when have you seen him?" He said, "I have seen him for more than a hundred years."' He said: 'He had on socks and sandals.' He said: 'Abu Ishaq had reached about a hundred and twenty years.'
