Answer:
Uwais ibn Amir ibn Jaz' ibn Malik al-Qarani (Arabic: أُوَيْس ٱبْن عَامِر ٱبْن جَزْء ٱبْن مَالِك ٱلْقَرَنِيّ, ʾUways ibn ʿĀmir ibn Jazʾ ibn Mālik al-Qaranīy), also spelled Uways or Owais, was a Muslim from Yemen who lived during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[2] His burial place is in Raqqa, Syria. Although he lived during the lifetime of Muhammad, he never physically met him so he is not counted among the Companions of the Prophet. He however met Muhammad's companion Omar and is therefore seen as from among the Tabi'un.[3] Among the Tabi'un he is specially known as Khayr al-Tabi'een (Arabic: خَيْر ٱلتَّابِعِين, lit. 'The Best of the Tabi'un') and Sayyid al-Tabi'een Fi Zamanahu (Arabic: سَيِّد ٱلتَّابِعِين فِي زَمَانَه, lit. 'Leader of the Tabi'un of his Era'). His memorial shrine is in al-Raqqah, Syria. It was destroyed by ISIS in 2013.[4]
