Abu 'Ubayda was present in the [[ghazwas]] (or battles) of the Prophet (s). According to a report, in the [[Battle of Badr]], he killed his father, [['Abd Allah b. Jarrah]] who was in the army of polytheists, and thus, a verse of the [[Qur'an]] was revealed about him. But given al-Waqidi's report that Abu 'Ubayda's father was not alive after the emergence of Islam, the story seems to be fabricated.

There is a report according to which, in the [[Battle of Uhud]], Abu 'Ubayda was one of the few people who did not leave the Prophet (s) when he was in difficulty. (Other sources, such as [[al-Dhahabi]]'s ''Tarikh al-Islam'' and Ibn Hisham's ''Sira'' did not mention him among those people, and other historical sources such as ''Tarikh al-Tabari'' and ''Tarikh al-Ya'qubi'' did not mention the name of those who stand with the Prophet (s).) Moreover, after the battle, two rings of the Prophet's (s) helmet pierced into his face; Abu 'Ubayda removed them with his teeth and as a result, two of his teeth fell out.

Sunni Muslims have praised Abu 'Ubayda because he was one of the [[Sahaba]] and has transmitted [[hadiths]] from [[the Prophet (s)]]. They have also cited some of his virtues, and by appealing to a hadith (transmitted by 'Umar b. al-Khattab), they consider him as one of [[al-'Ashara al-Mubashshara]] (10 people to whom the Prophet (s) gave the good news of going to the [[Heaven]]). They also say that 'Umar trusted him so much that he said about him, "if I die and Abu 'Ubayda is alive, I will appoint him as my successor".

However, the [[Shi'as]] have reproached him because of his infringement of the order to stay in the [[Army of Usama]], supporting Abu Bakr and 'Umar b. al-Khattab in the event of Saqifa Bani Sa'ida, supporting the first and the second caliphs in their governments, and the commandership of conquests.
