Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6490

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أُسَيْرِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ ، وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَسْخَرُ بِأُوَيْسٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هَلْ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَرَنِيِّينَ ؟ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ ، لاَ يَدَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ غَيْرَ أُمٍّ لَهُ ، قَدْ كَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ ، فَدَعَا اللَّهَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ عَنْهُ ، إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ الدِّينَارِ أَوِ الدِّرْهَمِ ، فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ.

It was narrated from Usair bin Jabir that the people of Al-Kufah came to 'Umar, and among them was a man who mocked Uwais. 'Umar said: "Is there anyone here from among the Qaranis?" That man came and 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'A man called Uwais will come to you from Yemen, and he will not leave anyone behind in Yemen except his mother. He had leprosy but he prayed to Allah and He took it away, except for a spot the size of a Dinar or Dirham. Whoever among you meets him, let him pray for forgiveness for you.'"
