Al-Haytham bin Adi states that Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) died in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and was buried there in the year 34 AH, and at that time he was 72 years old.

Ishaq bin Qabisah bin Dhu'ayb narrates from his father (Qabisah) that Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) objected to certain things done by Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and said to him: "I will not live with you in this land." So he set off for Madinah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "What has brought you to me? May Allah Almighty never grant conquest and victory to a land in which you and people like you are not present. Go back; Mu'awiyah has no authority (rule) over you."

Ubadah bin al-Walid narrates from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in six military expeditions alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Junadah bin Abi Umayyah al-Dawsi that he said: I went to Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he had attained deep understanding (tafaqquh) of the religion of Allah.

Abu al-Ash'ath narrates from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We pledged allegiance at the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that we would not fear, in the matter of Allah, the blame of any blamer. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Junadah bin Abi Umayyah narrates from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was busy (with other affairs) and a man came having accepted Islam, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would hand him over to one of us so that he would teach him the Qur'an. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) handed over to me a man who lived with me in the house, and I used to teach him to recite the Qur'an. He felt that I had a right (a favour) over him, so he gave me a bow as a gift; I had never seen a finer bow, nor one with a better bend. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about it (the bow)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is an ember (of fire) between your shoulders that you have hung on yourself, or put on around your neck." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "After me, rulers will be in authority over you who will tell you things that you consider wrong, and will condemn the things that you know (to be right). So whoever of you reaches that time (should remember that) there is no obedience to one who disobeys Allah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It has also been narrated by Zuhayr bin Mu'awiyah and Muslim bin Khalid al-Zanji from Abdullah bin Uthman bin Khuthaym, from Isma'il bin Ubayd bin Rifa'ah, with some additions:

So there is no obedience to one who disobeys Allah.' So do not bring loss upon yourselves. By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) is certainly one of them." At this, Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) did not answer him with a single word. This hadith has also been narrated through another sahih (authentic) chain on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), containing a shortened text about Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) coming to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) with a complaint:
