73 - ( 212 ) - 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 ، [1/188] 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 .

Hudbah b. Khalid Abu Khalid narrated to us, Mubarak b. Fadalah narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Asfar narrated to me, from Sa'sa'ah b. Mu'awiyah, he said: Uways b. Amir was a man from Qaran, and he was from the people of Kufa, and he was among the Followers; a white leprous spot came upon him, so he supplicated to Allah to remove it from him, and He removed it, so he said: O Allah, leave for me in my body of it what I may remember Your favors to me by, so He left for him of it what he may remember His favors to him by, and he was a man who kept to the mosque among some of his companions, and he had a cousin who kept to the ruler, obsessed with him; if he saw him with rich people, he said: He only lives off them, and if he saw him with poor people, he said: He only deceives them, while Uways said nothing about his cousin but good, except that when he passed by him he hid from him fearing he would sin by insulting him, and Umar b. al-Khattab used to ask the delegations when they came to him from Kufa: Do you know Uways b. Amir al-Qarani? And they would say: No, then a delegation from the people of Kufa came, among them that cousin of his, so he said: Do you know Uways b. Amir al-Qarani? His cousin said: O Commander of the Faithful, he is my cousin, a base corrupt man who has not reached that you should know him, O Commander of the Faithful, so Umar said to him: Woe to you, you are ruined, woe to you, you are ruined; when you come to him, convey my greeting to him, and order him to come to me, so he came to Kufa and did not take off his travel clothes before he came to the mosque, he said: So he saw Uways and embraced him, and said: Ask forgiveness for me, O cousin, he said: May Allah forgive you, O cousin, he said: And may Allah forgive you, O Uways b. Amir, the Commander of the Faithful conveys his greeting to you, he said: And who mentioned me to the Commander of the Faithful? He said: He mentioned you, and ordered us to convey to you that you come to him, he said: Hearing and obedience to the Commander of the Faithful, so he came as a delegate to him until he entered upon Umar, so he said: Are you Uways b. Amir? He said: Yes, he said: Are you the one upon whom a white spot came, so you supplicated to Allah to remove it from you, and He removed it, then you said: O Allah, leave in my body of it what I may remember Your favor to me by, so He left in your body what you remember His favors to you by? He said: And how do you know, O Commander of the Faithful? By Allah, no human saw this, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed us that there will be among the Followers a man from Qaran called Uways b. Amir; a white spot will come upon him, so he will supplicate to Allah to remove it from him, and He will remove it, then he will say: O Allah, leave in my body what I may remember Your favor to me by, he said: So He will leave for him of it what he remembers His favors to him by, so whoever among you reaches him and is able to have him ask forgiveness for him, let him have him ask forgiveness for him, so ask forgiveness for me, O Uways b. Amir, so he said to him: May Allah forgive you, O Commander of the Faithful, he said: And may Allah forgive you, O Uways b. Amir, he said: So when they heard Umar say: From the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a man said: Ask forgiveness for me, O Uways, and another said: Ask forgiveness for me, O Uways, so when they crowded upon him, he slipped away and went, and was not seen until this hour.
