It was narrated that ‘Iyad bin "Ghutaif said:
We entered upon Abu "Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah to visit him when he was sick, and his wife Tuhaifah was sitting by his head. We said: How is Abu "Ubaidah? She said: By Allah, he is gaining reward. Abu "Ubaidah said: I am not gaining reward. He was facing the wall and he turned to face the people and said: Why don"t you ask me about what I said? They said: We did not like what you said, so we did not ask you about it. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Whoever spends wealth for the sake of Allah will be rewarded seven hundred fold, and whoever spends on himself and his family, or visits a sick person, or removes something harmful (from the road), his good deed will be rewarded tenfold. And fasting is a shield unless he makes a hole in it. If Allah tests a person with physical sickness, it is a means of forgiveness for his sins.”

a man entered upon him [Abu "Ubaidah] and found him weeping. He said: Why are you weeping, O Abu "Ubaidah? He said: We are weeping because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned one day the victories that Allah would grant to the Muslims and how much booty lie would grant them, and he even mentioned Syria. He said: “If you live long, O Abu ‘Ubaidah, three servants will be enough for you: a servant to serve you, a servant to travel with you and a servant to serve your family and take care of them. And three mounts will be sufficient for you: a mount to carry you, a mount to carry your luggage and a mount to carry your slave.” And now here I am, look at my house, it is filled with slaves, and look at my stable, it is filled with mounts and horses. How can I meet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) after this? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) advised us: “The dearest of you to me and the closest of you to me is the one who meets me in the same state as he was when he left me.”

It was narrated from Shahr bin Hawshab al-Ash"ari, from Rabbih,
a man from among his people who married Shahr"s mother after his father died, that he witnessed the plague of ‘Amwas. He said: When the epidemic grew severe, Abu "Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah stood up to address the people and said: O people, this epidemic is a mercy from your Lord and the answer to the prayer of your Prophet (ﷺ), and this is how the righteous before you died. Abu "Ubaidah is asking Allah to give him his share of it. Then he got the plague and died, may Allah have mercy on hinn. Mu"adh bin Jabal succeeded him as the people"s leader and stood up to address them after he died. He said: O people, this epidemic is a mercy from your Lord and the answer to the prayer of your Prophet (ﷺ), and this is how the righteous before you died. Mu"adh is asking Allah to grant a share of it to the family of Mu"adh. Then his son "AbdurRahman bin Mu"adh got the plague and died. Then he asked his Lord for his own share of it, and [symptoms of the plague] appeared on his hand. I saw him looking at it, then he turned his hand over, then he said [to his hand]: I would not like to have anything in this world in return for what you have got. When he died, "Amr bin al-"As succeeded him as the people"s leader. He stood up to address them and said: O people, if this epidemic breaks out, then it will spread like wildfire, so flee from it to the mountains. Abu Wathilah al-Hudhali said to him: You are lying, by Allah. I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when you were no better than this donkey of mine. He said: By Allah, I will not respond to what you said. By Allah, we will never stay with it. Then he went out and the people went out and scattered from him, and Allah warded it off from them. News of "Amr"s opinion reached "Umar bin al-Khattab and by Allah he did not dislike it. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman "Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: Aban bin Salih was the grandfather of Abu ‘AbdurRahman Mushkudanah.
It was narrated that ‘Amir said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent the army of Dhatus-Salasil; he appointed Abu "Ubaidah in charge of the Muhajireen and "Amr bin al-’As in charge of the Bedouin, and he said to them both: "Cooperate with one another.” And they were instructed to raid [the tribe of] Bakr. So "Amr set out and raided [the tribe of ] Quda"ah, because Bakr were his maternal uncle. Al-Mugheerah bin Shu"bah went to Abu "Ubaidah and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has appointed you over us, but the son of so and so [i.e., ‘Amr) is leading the people and you should have nothing to do with him [because he did the wrong thing] Abu "Ubaidah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to cooperate with one another, and I shall obey the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) even if "Amr disobeys him.
