Uwais Al Garni أويس القرني

  • (2542)  عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه  قَالَ :  إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ : (( إِنَّ خَيْرَ التَّابِعِينَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ وَلَهُ وَالِدَةٌ  وَكَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ  فَمُرُوهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ))

( صحيح مسلم )

‘Umar b. Khattab reported

I heard Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: Worthy amongst the successors would be a person who would be called Uwais. He would have his mother (living with him) and he would have (a small) sign of leprosy. Ask him to beg pardon for you (from Allah)
