In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges explicit details on the life and times of Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah or commonly called Abū ‘Ubaydah ‘Āmir ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn al-Jarāḥ. This great Sahaba who is amongst the Ashara Mubashara was an embodiment of humility, integrity, honesty and modesty. But this was in sharp contrast to his personality on the battlefield where he displayed immense strength, valour and bravery. An interesting anecdote is shared by the Shaykh that illustrates this very aspect during the battle of Uhud. Abu Ubaidah RA had to part with his two front teeth which came as a result of the piercing of the Prophet ﷺ blessed head due to his own helmet. Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah was unable to stand and witness this misery and hence, after seeking permission from the Prophet ﷺ to be allowed to do the honour of relieving him of his pain. The life of Abu Ubaidah saw him in the wake of an intense test of his commitment for Islam at the battle of Badr . it was almost incomprehensible as to how this could ever be achieved if not for the utter love for Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW. Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah was face to face with his own father who was making every possible attempt to attack the Prophet ﷺ which shocked him no end. Nevertheless, he kept his faith strong and annihilated his father without any remorse or regret only for the sake of the Prophet ﷺ. When Abu Ubaidah was in Jabyia he became severely ill due to plague and was almost on his deathbed, he advised his army the following - “Let me give you some advice, which will cause you to be on the path of goodness always. "Establish Prayer, fast in the month of Ramadan, give charity, perform the Hajj and Umrah, remain united and support one another, be sincere to your commanders and do not conceal anything from them. Don't let the world destroy you for, even if man were to live a thousand years, he would still end up with this state that you see me in. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah."
