Abbas bin Muhammad al-Duri states that Sayyiduna Uways al-Qarani (may Allah be pleased with him) was mentioned in the gathering of Sharik, and he said that he was martyred alongside Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) among the foot-soldiers.

Abu Makin states: I saw a woman in the mosque of Sayyiduna Uways al-Qarani (may Allah be pleased with him) who said that he and his companions used to gather in this very mosque, praying and reciting from their copies of the Qur'an. I used to bring them their morning and evening meals, and they would remain there until they had performed the prayers. She said that this remained their practice until they went out to battle, and Sayyiduna Uways and a group of his companions were martyred fighting among the foot-soldiers in front of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi al-Jad'a (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Through the intercession of one man of my Ummah, more people will enter Paradise than the entire number of Banu Tamim." Hisham bin Hassan says: I heard Imam al-Hasan al-Basri say that this man is Sayyiduna Uways al-Qarani (may Allah be pleased with him). The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
