It is narrated from Malik bin Yukhamir that, describing Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: He was of lean build, his face was bony (lacking flesh), his beard was thin, he was tall, he was slightly stooped forward, and (because he had pulled out the rings from the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the Battle of Uhud) his two front teeth were broken.

It is narrated from Urwah bin Ruwaym that Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the year 18 AH at Fihl in Jordan.

It is narrated from Urwah that among those of Banu al-Harith bin Fihr who took part in the Battle of Badr was Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and at that time he was forty-one years old.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Shawdhab that on the day of Badr, the father of Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept persistently setting his sights on him (to attack him), while Abu Ubaydah kept avoiding facing him. But when his father persisted greatly (in attacking), Abu Ubaydah turned towards him and killed him. So when he killed his (idolater) father, Allah Almighty revealed this verse concerning him: "You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons" [Surah al-Mujadilah: 22] (to the end).
