عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن سعيد بن المسيِّب، عن عمر بن الخطاب قال:
قَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: يَا عُمَرُ! فَقُلْتُ: لَبيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَبْعَثُنِى فِى حَاجَةٍ، قال: يا عُمَرُ أَيَكُونُ فِى أُمَّتى فِى آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرْنِى يُصِيبُهُ بَلَاءٌ فِى جَسَدِهِ، فَيَدْعُو اللَّه فَيَذْهَبُ بِهِ إِلَّا لُمْعَةً فِى جَنْبِهِ إِذَا رَآهَا ذَكَرَ اللَّه ﷻ فَإِذَا لَقِيتَهُ فَأَقْرِئهُ مِنِّى السَّلَامَ وَأمُرْهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَرِيمٌ عَلَى رَبِّهِ، بَارٌّ بِوَالِدَتِهِ، لَوْ يُقْسِمُ عَلَى اللَّه لأَبَرَّهُ، يَشْفَعُ لِمثْلِ رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ، فَطَلَبْتُهُ حَيَاة رسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ، فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ، وَطَلَبْتُهُ خِلَافَةَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَيْه، وَطَلَبْتُهُ شَطْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَتِى، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أستَقرِئُ الرِّقَاقَ وَأَقُولُ: فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ مُرَاد؟ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِن قَرنٍ؟، فِيكُمْ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرْنِىُّ؟ فَقَالَ شَيْخٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ هُوَ ابْنُ أَخِى، إِنَّكَ تَسْأَلُ عَن رَجُلٍ وضيعِ الشَّأن: لَيْسَ مِثْلُكَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ يا أَمِيرَ المؤمنين! قُلت: أَرَاكَ فِيه مِنَ الْهَالكِينَ، فَرَدَّ الكَلَام الأوَّلَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذلِكَ إِذْ رُفِعَتْ لِى رَاحِلَةٌ رَثَّةُ الْحَالِ عَلَيْها رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْحَالِ فَوَقَعَ فِى خَلَدِى أَنَّهُ أُوَيْسٌ، قَلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه! أَنْتَ أُوَيْسٌ القَرْنِىُّ؟ قال: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ يَقْرَأ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ، فَقَال: عَلَى رسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ السَّلَامُ، وَعَلَيكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمِنِينَ! قَلْتُ: وَيَأمُرُكَ أَن تَدْعُو لِى، فَكُنْتُ أَلقَاهُ فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ فَأُخْبِرُهُ بِذَاتِ نَفْسِى، وَيُخبِرُنى بِذَاتِ نَفْسِهِ".

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me one day: O 'Umar! I said: At your service and your happiness, O Messenger of Allah. I thought that he was sending me on some errand. He said: O 'Umar, will there be in my ummah at the end of time a man called Uways al-Qarani, who will be afflicted with a disease in his body, so he will call upon Allah and it will be removed from him, except for a spot on his side the size of a coin, which when he sees it he remembers Allah ﷻ. So when you meet him, convey my greetings to him and order him to pray for you, for he is honored by his Lord, dutiful to his mother, and if he swears by Allah, Allah will fulfill it. He will intercede for the likes of the tribes of Rabi'ah and Mudar. So I sought him during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I could not find him, and I sought him during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, but I could not find him, and I sought him for part of my rule. Then while I was asking the worn-out cloth sellers and saying: Is there among you anyone from Murad? Is there among you anyone from Qarn? Is there among you Uways al-Qarani? A shaykh of the people said: He is my nephew. You are asking about a man of low status; the one like you should not ask about him, O Commander of the Faithful! I said: I see you among the ruined ones concerning him. So he repeated the first statement. While I was like that, a poorly equipped mount was brought to me, upon which was a man in poor condition, and it came into my mind that he was Uways. I said: O servant of Allah! Are you Uways al-Qarani? He said: Yes. I said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sends you his greetings. He said: Upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be peace, and upon you, O Commander of the Faithful! I said: He also orders you to pray for me. So I would meet him every year, and I would tell him what was in my mind, and he would tell me what was in his mind."
