Zuhayr ibn Harb and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, both saying: ʿAffān ibn Muslim narrated to us, Ḥammād — namely Ibn Salamah — narrated to us, from Saʿīd al-Jurayrī, with this chain of transmission, from ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Indeed, the best of the successors (tābiʿūn) is a man called Uways, and he has a mother, and he has a whiteness [on his skin]. So tell him to seek forgiveness for you."
