[6492] 225 - ( ... ) It was narrated that Usair bin Jâbir said: "Whenever reinforcements came from Yemen, 'Umar bin Al- Khattâb would ask them: 'Is Uwais bin 'Amir among you?' When he found Uwais he said: 'Are you Uwais bin 'Amir?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Are you from Murâd then from Qaran?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Did you have leprosy, then you recovered from it except for a spot the size of a Dirham?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do you have a mother?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allahsay: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir alongwith the reinforcements from Yemen, from Murâd then from Qaran. He had leprosy but he recovered from it, except for a spot the size of a Dirham. He has a mother and he honors her. If he were to swear in the Name of Allah that something should happen, Allah would cause it to happen. If you can ask him to pray for forgiveness for you then do so." Pray for forgiveness for me.' And he prayed for forgiveness for "Umar said to him: 'Where are you headed?' He said: 'Al-Küfah.' He said: 'Shall I write to the governor for you?' He said: 'Being among the common folk is dearer to me.' "The following year, a man from among their nobles performed j-Iajj, and he met 'Umar, who asked him about Uwais. He said: 'I left him in a shabby house with meagre provisions.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir alongwith the reinforcements from Yemen, from Murad, then from Qaran. He had leprosy but he recovered from it, except for a spot the size of a Dirham. He has a mother and he hmors her. If he were to swear in the Name of Allah that something should happen, Allah would cause it to happn. If you can ask him to pray for forgiveness for you, then do so." So he went to Uwais and said: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'You have just come from a sacred journey, so pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'You have just come from a sacred journey, so pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'Did you meet 'Umar?' He said: 'Yes.' So he prayed for forgiveness for him, and the people came to know of his piety, so he left." Usair (a narrator) said: "His garment was a Burdah, and every time anyone saw him he would say: 'From where did Uwais get this Burdah?"
