Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Before that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: "There is about to come upon you the best man of Yemen, upon whom is the radiance of an angel." Then Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came.
