It is narrated from Ubaydullah bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Khabbab bin al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 37 AH. He was the first of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whom Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) buried in the land of Kufah, and he was the first person over whom the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), performed the funeral prayer after returning from the Battle of Siffin.

Abdullah bin Khabbab narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was a mawla of Banu Zuhrah), that he personally took part in the Battle of Badr alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
