It is narrated from Mughira bin Shubal that Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) stated: When I approached Madinah Munawwarah, I made my mount sit down, unpacked my belongings and set them aside, and donned splendid clothes. Then I entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon. People looked at me intently. I asked the man sitting near me whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned me. He replied: Yes, just now he remembered you in very beautiful words. While delivering the sermon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned you and said: From this door or from this path, a man from among the distinguished people of Yemen is about to enter upon you, and on his face is the dignity of kings. Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I thanked Allah Almighty for this honor.
