حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ أُسَيْرِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِذَا أَتَى عَلَيْهِ أَمْدَادُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ ، سَأَلَهُمْ : أَفِيكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ؟ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى أُوَيْسٍ فَقَالَ : أَنْتَ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : مِنْ مُرَادٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرَنٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ بِكَ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأْتَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : لَكَ وَالِدَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ مَعَ أَمْدَادِ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ ، مِنْ مُرَادٍ ، ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرَنٍ ، كَانَ بِهِ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ ، لَهُ وَالِدَةٌ هُوَ بِهَا بَرٌّ ، لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لأَبَرَّهُ ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ فَافْعَلْ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ قَالَ : الْكُوفَةَ ، قَالَ : أَلاَ أَكْتُبُ لَكَ إِلَى عَامِلِهَا ؟ قَالَ: أَكُونُ فِي غَبْرَاءِ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ. قَالَ : فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ حَجَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ ، فَوَافَقَ عُمَرَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أُوَيْسٍ ، قَالَ: تَرَكْتُهُ رَثَّ الْبَيْتِ ، قَلِيلَ الْمَتَاعِ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ مَعَ أَمْدَادِ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ مُرَادٍ ، ثُمَّ مِنْ قَرَنٍ ، كَانَ بِهِ بَرَصٌ فَبَرَأَ مِنْهُ ، إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ دِرْهَمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَةٌ هُوَ بِهَا بَرٌّ ، لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لأَبَرَّهُ ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ فَافْعَلْ فَأَتَى أُوَيْسًا فَقَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ أَحْدَثُ عَهْدًا بِسَفَرٍ صَالِحٍ ، فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ: اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ: أَنْتَ أَحْدَثُ عَهْدًا بِسَفَرٍ صَالِحٍ ، فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ: لَقِيتَ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ ، فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ ، فَفَطِنَ لَهُ النَّاسُ ، فَانْطَلَقَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ. قَالَ أُسَيْرٌ: وَكَسَوْتُهُ بُرْدَةً ، فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا رَآهُ إِنْسَانٌ قَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ لِأُوَيْسٍ هَذِهِ الْبُرْدَةُ.

It was narrated that Usair bin Jabir said: "Whenever reinforcements came from Yemen, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab 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 Murad 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 Allah (s.a.w) say: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir along with 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 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 him. "Umar said to him: 'Where are you headed?' He said: 'Al-Kufah.' 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 Hajj, and he met 'Umar, who asked him about Uwais. He said: 'I left him in a shabby house with meager provisions.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir along with 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 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."' 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?"'
