Musnad Abi Ya'la 212 — Uways bin Amir (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَبُو خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَصْفَرِ ، عَنْ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَرَنٍ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ، وَكَانَ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ ، فَخَرَجَ بِهِ وَضَحٌ ، فَدَعَا اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهُ عَنْهُ فَأَذْهَبَهُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ دَعْ لِي فِي جَسَدِي مِنْهُ مَا أَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعَمَكَ عَلَيَّ ، فَتَرَكَ لَهُ مِنْهُ مَا يَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعَمَهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا يَلْزَمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ يَلْزَمُ السُّلْطَانَ ، يُولَعُ بِهِ ، فَإِنْ رَآهُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ أَغْنِيَاءَ ، قَالَ : مَا هُوَ إِلَّا يَسْتَأْكِلُهُمْ ، وَإِنْ رَآهُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فُقَرَاءَ ، قَالَ : مَا هُوَ إِلَّا يَخْدَعُهُمْ ، وَأُوَيْسٌ لَا يَقُولُ فِي ابْنِ عَمِّهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا مَرَّ بِهِ اسْتَتَرَ مِنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَأْثَمَ فِي سَبِّهِ ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَسْأَلُ الْوُفُودَ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ : هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ أُوَيْسَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْقَرَنِيَّ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : لَا ، فَقَدِمَ وَفْدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ، فِيهِمُ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ ذَاكَ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ أُوَيْسَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْقَرَنِيَّ ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي ، هُوَ رَجُلٌ نَذْلٌ فَاسِدٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مَا إِنْ تَعْرِفُهُ أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : وَيْلَكَ هَلَكْتَ ، وَيْلَكَ هَلَكْتَ ، إِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ ، وَمُرْهُ فَلْيَفِدْ إِلَيَّ ، فَقَدِمَ الْكُوفَةَ ، فَلَمْ يَضَعْ ثِيَابَ سَفَرِهِ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ ، قَالَ : فَرَأَى أُوَيْسًا فَلَمَّ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا ابْنَ عَمِّي ، قَالَ : غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ ، قَالَ : وَأَنْتَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكَ يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ ، قَالَ : وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِي لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ : هُوَ ذَكَرَكَ ، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُبْلِغَكَ أَنْ تَفِدَ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَوَفَدَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : أَنْتَ أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَرَجَ بِكَ وَضَحٌ فَدَعَوْتَ اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهُ عَنْكَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ ، فَقُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ دَعْ لِي فِي جَسَدِي مِنْهُ مَا أَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ ، فَتَرَكَ لَكَ فِي جَسَدِكَ مَا تَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعَمَهُ عَلَيْكَ ، قَالَ : وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى هَذَا بَشَرٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي التَّابِعِينَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَرَنٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : أُوَيْسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، يَخْرُجُ بِهِ وَضَحٌ ، فَيَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهُ عَنْهُ ، فَيُذْهِبَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ دَعْ لِي فِي جَسَدِي مَا أَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : فَيَدَعُ لَهُ مِنْهُ مَا يَذْكُرُ بِهِ نِعَمَهُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَاسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ ، فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ ، فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَ : وَأَنْتَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكَ يَا أُوَيْسُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أُوَيْسُ ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أُوَيْسُ ، فَلَمَّا كَثُرُوا عَلَيْهِ انْسَابَ فَذَهَبَ ، فَمَا رُئِيَ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ .
It is narrated from Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Uways bin Amir (may Allah have mercy on him) was a man of the tribe of Qaran and one of the people of Kufah, and he was counted among the Tabi'in (Successors). He was afflicted with leucoderma (white patches), so he prayed to Allah Almighty to remove it, and Allah removed it. Then he said: 'Allahumma da' li fi jasadi minhu ma adhkuru bihi ni'amaka 'alayya' (O Allah, leave some trace of this illness in my body by which I may remember Your favours upon me). So Allah Almighty left some mark of it on his body by which he would remember Allah's blessings. He used to stay in the mosque with some of his companions, while a cousin of his was attached to the court of the rulers and used to harass him. If he saw him with wealthy people he would say: "He only wants to eat their wealth," and if he saw him with poor people he would say: "He is only deceiving them." Uways (may Allah have mercy on him) always spoke only good of his cousin; however, when he passed by, he would hide from him, fearing that he would become sinful by reviling him. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to ask the delegations coming from Kufah: "Do you know Uways bin Amir al-Qarani?" They would say: "No." Then a delegation of the people of Kufah came, among whom was that same cousin of his. He asked: "Do you know Uways bin Amir al-Qarani?" His cousin said: "O Commander of the Believers, he is my cousin; he is a most insignificant and obscure man, he is not worthy that someone like you, the Commander of the Believers, should know him." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Woe to you! You are ruined. When you go to him, convey my greeting of peace to him and tell him to come to me." When that man reached Kufah, he went straight to the mosque without taking off his travelling clothes. There he saw Uways (may Allah have mercy on him), embraced him and said: "O my brother, pray to Allah to forgive me." He said: "May Allah forgive you." He said: "And may Allah forgive you too, O Uways bin Amir. The Commander of the Believers sends you his greeting of peace." Uways (may Allah have mercy on him) asked: "Who mentioned me to the Commander of the Believers?" He said: "He mentioned you himself, and he ordered us to convey to you the message that you should come to him." He said: "The command of the Commander of the Believers is to be heard and obeyed." Then he set out to him until he came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked: "Are you Uways bin Amir?" He said: "Yes." He asked: "Are you the one who was afflicted with leucoderma, and Allah removed it at your prayer, and then you pleaded: 'Allahumma da' li fi jasadi minhu ma adhkuru bihi ni'mataka 'alayya' (O Allah, leave so much of its mark in my body by which I may remember Your favour), and so Allah left a sign of it in your body?" Uways (may Allah have mercy on him) asked in astonishment: "O Commander of the Believers, how did you come to know this? By Allah, no human being was aware of this secret." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us: 'Among the Tabi'in there will be a man of the tribe of Qaran called Uways bin Amir. He will be afflicted with leucoderma, and he will pray to Allah to remove it, and Allah will remove it; but he will say: "Allahumma da' li fi jasadi ma adhkuru bihi ni'mataka 'alayya" (O Allah, leave so much mark in my body by which I may remember Your favour). So Allah will leave for him so much mark by which he will remember His favours. So whoever of you meets him and is able to have him pray for his forgiveness, let him certainly do so.' So, O Uways bin Amir, pray for my forgiveness." He said: "O Commander of the Believers, may Allah forgive you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And may Allah forgive you too, O Uways bin Amir." When the people heard this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), one man said: "O Uways, pray for me," and another said the same. When the crowd of people grew large, Uways (may Allah have mercy on him) slipped away quietly from there, and from that time until today nothing has been known of him.
