Sala mamam almaic almaic almaicatoo welcome back to prayers of the pious.

There's a story of a man in Sahih Muslim that you may have heard about, but I want to focus on one particular element of his story.

The man's name is Owais al-Karney. May Allah be pleased with him.

And this was a man that the Prophet peace be upon him spoke about though he never met him.

And he told the companions, if you ever meet this man, then you should ask a lot, you should ask him to ask Allah to seek forgiveness for you because of his closeness

with Allah Subhano and to Allah and he gave some descriptions about U-Ais so the Allah-Tala Anj.

So Omar al-Ihahab, every single year as people would come from Hadj, he would ask the caravans, particularly from Yemen,

is this man always amongst you.

Until finally, he finds him, and he starts to ask all of these questions about his

description, where he's from, what tribe he's from, and if he is the man who the

Prophet Salihl him was talking about.

The Prophet peace upon him described his deeds, however, in two ways.

He said that this man had leprosy, and he asked Allah Subhanoit-a to cure him from that leprosy except for the size of a coin except for the size of a dirham and this was a man that used to be generous or used to show extreme obedience or would show extreme obedience to his mother.

And because of the obedience he showed to his mother,

Allah Subhana honored him.

And Omar Radi al-Hahlah al-Anhu after setting out and understanding who this man was and that it was indeed him,

Omar Radee Allah T al-A-Lah al-Anhu asked him and requested him to seek forgiveness from Allah Subhahana for him.

Usually with this narration we focus on... forgiveness from Allah's sophana ala for him.

Usually with this narration we focus on the mother part,

on the fact that the greatest way to come close to Allah

subhana to honor your parents.
