حَدَّثَنِا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرًا يَقُولُ: مَا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلاَّ تَبَسَّمَ فِي وَجْهِي، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”يَدْخُلُ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَيْرِ ذِي يَمَنٍ، عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَسْحَةُ مَلَكٍ“، فَدَخَلَ جَرِيرٌ.
It is narrated from Qais that I heard Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) say: Ever since I embraced Islam, whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he smiled at me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will enter through this door who is among the best people of Yemen, and his face is extremely beautiful." Then Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) entered.
