It is narrated from him that he said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, I came to him, and he asked me: "O Jarir, for what have you come to us?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have come to accept Islam at your hand. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held out his cloak to me, then turned to his Companions and said: "When the honoured one of a people comes to you, honour him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Husayn bin Umar, who is matruk (abandoned).
