Sahih Muslim 2542c

Translation

✧ ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, whenever reinforcements from the people of Yemen came to him, would ask them, “Is there among you Uways ibn ʿĀmir?” until he came upon Uways. He said, “Are you Uways ibn ʿĀmir?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “From Murād, then from Qaran?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “Did you have leprosy and then were cured of it except for the spot the size of a dirham?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “Do you have a mother?” He replied, “Yes.” He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Uways ibn ʿĀmir will come to you with the reinforcements from the people of Yemen, from Murād, then from Qaran. He had leprosy and was cured of it except for a spot the size of a dirham. He has a mother, and he is dutiful to her. If he were to swear an oath by Allah, Allah would fulfill it for him. So if you are able to have him seek forgiveness for you, then do so.’” So he said, “Seek forgiveness for me.” And he sought forgiveness for him. Then ʿUmar said to him, “Where do you intend to go?” He replied, “To Kūfah.” He said, “Shall I not write for you to its governor?” He replied, “Being among the common folk is dearer to me.” He said: Then in the following year a man from their nobles performed Hajj and met ʿUmar, and he asked him about Uways. He said, “I left him in a shabby home, with little property.” He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Uways ibn ʿĀmir will come to you with the reinforcements from the people of Yemen, from Murād, then from Qaran. He had leprosy and was cured of it except for a spot the size of a dirham. He has a mother, and he is dutiful to her. If he were to swear an oath by Allah, Allah would fulfill it for him. So if you are able to have him seek forgiveness for you, then do so.’” So he went to Uways and said, “Seek forgiveness for me.” He said, “You have more recently returned from a righteous journey, so seek forgiveness for me.” He said, “Seek forgiveness for me.” He said, “You have more recently returned from a righteous journey, so seek forgiveness for me.” He said, “Did you meet ʿUmar?” He replied, “Yes.” So he sought forgiveness for him. Then the people noticed him, so he went away on his own. Usayr said, “And I clothed him with a cloak, and whenever anyone saw him he would say, ‘Where did Uways get this cloak from?’”
