forgiveness for me - did you meet Omar?‟ The noble replied: „Yes.‟
So Uwais supplicated for forgiveness for him. Thereafter, people
became aware of Uwais so he decided to leave that place.”

“Some people from Kufa waited upon Omar. Among them was a
person who used to deride Uwais. Omar inquired: „Is there anyone
among you who is of the Karn?‟ So the man stepped forward. Omar
said that: „The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: „Uwais
will come to you from Yemen. He will have left nothing there except
his mother. He suffered from leprosy and prayed to Allah for a cure,
and was cured except for a small spot the size of a dirham. If any of
you meet him you should ask him to supplicate for forgiveness for
you.'"

"I (Omar) heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say: 'In
the next generation the best person is a man called Uwais. He has a
mother and suffered from leprosy. Go to him and ask him to
supplicate for forgiveness for you.'"
