حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: «مَاتَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فِي طَاعُونِ عَمْوَاسٍ، سَنَةَ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَشَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَيُقَالُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ»
Yahya bin Bukayr said: Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the plague of Amwas in the year 18 AH, when he was fifty-eight (58) years old, and he took part in Badr at the age of forty-one (41). It is said that Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ، ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْحَارِثِيِّ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ طُعِنَ، فَجَعَلَ يُرْسِلُ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ عَمِيرَةَ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ يَسْأَلُهُ كَيْفَ هُوَ؟ فَأَرَاهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ طَعْنَةً خَرَجَتْ فِي كَفَّهِ، فَتَكَابرَ شَأْنُهَا فِي نَفْسِ الْحَارِثِ، فَفَرَقَ مِنْهَا حِينَ رَآهَا «فَأَقْسَمَ لَهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِاللهِ مَا يُحِبُّ أَنَّ لَهُ بِهَا حُمُرَ النَّعَمِ»
Al-Harith bin Amirah al-Harithi narrates that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was struck by the plague, and he kept sending al-Harith bin Amirah to Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah to ask how he was. Abu Ubaydah showed him a plague sore that was on his palm; its matter seemed very grave to al-Harith, and when he saw it he became frightened. So Abu Ubaydah swore to him by Allah that he would not love to have red camels in exchange for it.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، ثنا أَصْبَغُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَتِ الشَّامُ عَلَى أَمِيرَيْنِ: عَلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ، وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَتُوُفِّيَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، وَاسْتَخْلَفَ خَالُهُ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ أَحَدَ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ، فَأَقَرَّهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ عِيَاضٌ فَأَمَّرَ مَكَانَهَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ جُذَيْمٍ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَأَمَّرَ مَكَانَهُ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ "
Ibn Shihab said: Syria was under two governors: Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah and Yazid bin Abi Sufyan. Then Abu Ubaydah died, and he appointed his maternal uncle Iyad bin Ghanm, one of Banu al-Harith bin Fihr, as his successor, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) confirmed him in that post. Then Iyad died, and he appointed Sa'id bin Amir bin Judhaym governor in his place. Then Sa'id bin Amir died, and he appointed Umayr bin Sa'd governor in his place.
