"عَنْ سَعيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ: نَادَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ عَلَى المنْبَرِ بِمِنًى: يَا أَهْلَ قَرْنٍ! فَقَامَ مَشَايِخُ فَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمِنينَ! ! قَالَ: أَفِى قَرْنٍ مَنِ اسْمُهُ أُوَيْسٌ؟ (فَقَالَ شَيخٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! لَيسَ فِينا مَنِ اسْمهُ أويسٌ) إلَّا مَجْنُونٌ يَسْكنُ الْقِفَارَ والرِّمَالَ، لَا يَألَفُ وَلَا يُؤلَفُ، فَقَالَ: ذَاكَ الَّذِى أعْنِيه، إِذَا عُدْتُمْ إِلَى قَرْنٍ فَاطْلُبُوهُ وبلِّغُوهُ (سلامى وقولوا له: إن رسول اللَّه ﷺ بشرنى بك وأمرنى أَنْ أقرأ عليك سلامَهُ، فعادوا إلى قرن يطلبونه فوجدوه في الرمال فأبلغوه) وبلغوه سَلَامَ عُمَرَ وَسَلَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَعَرفَنِى أَميرُ المؤْمِنينَ وَشَهَّرَ بِاسْمِى؟ السَّلامُ عَلَى رسُولِ اللَّه- صلى اللَّه عليه وآله وَسلَّم- وَهَامَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، فَلَمْ يُوقَفْ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَثَرٍ دَهْرًا، ثُمَّ عاد فِى أَيَّامِ عَلِىٍّ فَقاتل بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فاسْتُشْهِد فِى صِفِّينَ".

"From Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab called out while he was on the pulpit at Mina: O people of Qarn! Some elders stood up and said: We are here, O Commander of the Faithful! He said: Is there among the people of Qarn anyone named Uways? (A shaykh said: O Commander of the Faithful, there is no one among us named Uways) except a madman who lives in the deserts and sands, who neither befriends nor is befriended. He said: That is the one I mean. When you return to Qarn, seek him and convey to him (my greeting and say to him: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me good news about you and ordered me to read his greeting to you). They returned to Qarn seeking him and found him in the sands, and they conveyed to him (the greeting of 'Umar and the greeting of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ). He said: Has the Commander of the Faithful known me and made my name famous? Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he wandered off in his direction, and no trace of him was found for a long time. Then he returned in the days of 'Ali and fought before him, and was martyred at Siffin."
