Who is uwais al qarni

I reached the Masjid, but the issue of the stain was still bothering me. The entrance of the Masjid had a few beggars standing there. They usually stand there during this blessed month, each of them with a story that he uses to gain the sympathy of the people who come to pray.

I climbed the Minbar quickly, hoping that no one would get a chance to see the black spot that stained my dress in the car. I delivered the Khutbah, and then we prayed. After prayers, I leaned my back at a pillar that was next to the Qiblah, and I stretched my legs to relax. Now Egyptians usually go and shake the hands of the Imaam after the prayers making supplications for him.

I started shaking their hands while being seated in the same manner, and replied to their supplications by nodding my head up and down.

I was really exhausted at this time because of the hot weather and the fasting. At that point, I noticed a blind man crossing the lines with extreme difficulty, asking for the Shaykh referring to me.

Nobody was paying attention to his request, rather some of them were waving their hands in an annoyed manner as the blind man was unintentionally coming in contact with them while crossing the lines. The caretaker of the Masjid took his hand and brought him to me. I looked at him, and saw that his clothe were worn-out. He had the appearance of a person that if he greets others they would not reply back to him, and if he speaks no one would care about what he said.

My first impression was that he was one of the beggars I saw at the entrance of the Masjid. The man reached where I was seated; he greeted me and I replied to his greeting while still being seated in the same manner I described earlier, relaxed and with my legs stretched. Rather he started by praising the topic of my Khutbah!! Yo start by showing that you understood what was mentioned in the Khutbah so that my heart would soften?!

So he devoted himself solely to the service of his mother. He was 28 years of age when Holy Prophet peace be upon him had migrated to Madinah Munawwarah. He had a keen desire to visit him, but was preoccupied with the service of his sick mother.

Yet he would keep a tab on the developments in Hijaz. When he heard about the sad news of the Battle of Ohud CE , when a tooth of the Prophet was martyred, Qarni out of love for him, broke all his teeth.

Thus was his love for the Holy Prophet peace be upon him. The Holy Prophet peace be upon him knew about Qarni and his love for him. He gave all the details about him and advised him to seek prayers for his forgiveness and for the whole Ummah. This demonstrates the exalted status of Qarni. Qarni, the Prophet is said to have remarked, is the best among tabeiin, second generation of the companions.

Qarni rubbed the blessed cloak over his face and eyes, and kissed it, when he finally received it. The blessed cloak, it is said, is preserved in Istanbul, Turkey. He continued finding him out until he met Qarni.

He said: To Kufa. Umar said: Let me write a letter for you to its governor, But Owais said: I love to live among the poor people. Umar was impressed with his simple personality and asked Owais Qarni to pray for him. Add a comment. The Benefits of Islam. Beliefs of Islam. How to Convert to Islam. Worship and Practice.
