Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Fadalah bin Ubayd al-Ansari and his brother Sayyiduna Ziyad bin Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with them both); he (Ziyad) too had the honour of companionship. It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr that he said: Abu Muhammad Fadalah bin Ubayd bin Nafidh bin Suhayb al-Ansari, whose mother was the daughter of Muhammad bin Uqbah bin Uhayhah bin al-Julah, died in Damascus in 53 AH, and his brother Ziyad bin Ubayd died in the same year, while according to another view he died one year after him.
