Usair Bin Jabir reported that when people from Yemen came to help the Muslim army at the time of jihad he asked them: Is there amongst you Uwais Bin Amir? He continued finding him out until he met Uwais. He said: Are you Uwais b.; Amir? He said: Yes. He said: Are you from the tribe of Qaran? He said: Yes. He Hadrat Umar again said: Did you suffer from leprosy and then you were cured from it but for the space of a dirham? He said: Yes. He Umar said: Is your mother living ? He said: Yes. He Umar said: I heard Allah Messenger ﷺ say: There would come to you Uwais Bin Amir with the reinforcement from the people of Yemen. He would be from Qaran; the branch of Murid. He had been suffering from leprosy from which he was cured but for a spot of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been excellent. If he were to take an oath in the name of Allah; He would honour that. And if it is possible for you; then do ask him to beg forgiveness for you from your Lord. So he Uwais begged forgiveness for him. Umar said: Where do you intend to go? He said: To Kufa. He Umar said: Let me write a letter for you to its governor; whereupon he Uwais said: I love to live amongst the poor people. When it was the next year; a person from among the elite of Kufa performed Hajj and he met Umar. He asked him about Uwais. He said: I left him in a state with meagre means of sustenance. Thereupon Umar said: I heard Allah Messenger ﷺ as saying: There would come to you Uwais Bin Amir; of Qaran; a branch of the tribe of Murid; along with the reinforcement of the people of Yemen. He had been suffering from leprosy which would have been cured but for the space of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been very kind. If he would take an oath in the name of Allah for something He would honour it. Ask him to beg forgiveness for you from Allah in case it is possible for you. So he came to Uwais and said.: Beg forgiveness from Allah for me. He Uwais said: You have just come from a sacred journey Hajj ; you; therefore; ask forgiveness for me. He the person who had performed Hajj said: Ask forgiveness for me from Allah. He Uwais again said: You have just come from the sacred journey; so you ask forgiveness for me. Uwais further said: Did you meet Umar? He said: Yes. He Uwais then begged forgiveness for him from Allah. So the people came to know about the status of religious piety of Uwais. He went away from that place. Usair said: His clothing consisted of a mantle; and whosoever saw him said: From where did Uwais get this mantle?
