(Among them) is that when the pledge of allegiance was given to him at Dhi Qar, he—Exalted is His might—said: 'There will come to you from the direction of Kufa one thousand men, neither decreasing by a man nor increasing by a man, pledging allegiance unto death, the last of them being Uways al-Qarani.'”
