It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah bin Ri'ab (may Allah be pleased with him), of Banu Salimah, took part in the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah bin Ri'ab al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, concerning this statement of Allah Almighty, "Allah erases what He wills and confirms (what He wills)" [Surah al-Ra'd: 39] , that Allah Almighty erases from provision (whatever He wills) and increases (whatever He wills).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), in the list of names of the Companions who took part in the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that among them was Sayyiduna Jabbar bin Sakhr bin Umayyah bin Khansa' bin Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him).

Khalifah bin Khayyat states that Sayyiduna Jabbar bin Sakhr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in Madinah in the year 30 AH, and at that time he was sixty-two years old.

Sayyiduna Jabbar bin Sakhr (may Allah be pleased with him) states: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "We have been forbidden from looking at our private parts." Mention of the virtues of Abu Hudhayfah Hushaym bin Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf (may Allah be pleased with him), who was beloved of Allah and the son of the enemy of Allah and of His Messenger (Utbah). He was martyred in the Battle of al-Yamamah in the twelfth year of the Hijrah, at the age of fifty-three or fifty-four.

Muhammad bin Umar states that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) had accepted Islam before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Dar al-Arqam, and he was among those who made both emigrations (to Abyssinia and to Madinah).

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr and challenged his father Utbah to single combat. When he called his father to single combat, his sister Hind bint Utbah said (these verses in condemnation of him): "The squint-eyed one, with a gap in his front teeth and an ill omen, Abu Hudhayfah is the worst of people in the matter of religion. Did you not show gratitude to the father who raised you in childhood, until you grew into a strapping young man?"

Imam al-Waqidi states that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) was a tall man with a handsome face, and his mother was Umm Safwan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) drank the cup of martyrdom on the day of the Battle of al-Yamamah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the Day of Badr: "Whoever of you meets Abbas (my uncle) should not kill him, for he has been forced to come out." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Are we to kill our fathers, our brothers and our kinsmen and leave Abbas?! By Allah, if I meet him, I will make him food for my sword. This reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Hafs!" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That was the first day on which he (peace and blessings be upon him) called me by my kunyah Abu Hafs. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is the face of the uncle of the Messenger of Allah to be struck with the sword?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Let me strike off his neck, for he has become a hypocrite. Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say (later, in remorse): Because of that sentence which I said that day, I never consider myself safe, and I remain constantly afraid until Allah Almighty expiates it for me through martyrdom. So he was martyred on the day of the Battle of al-Yamamah. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
