During the period of the Prophet (s), 'Ubayd Allah was not old enough to be assigned a political or military task. He is said to be a supporter of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. 'Ali (a) appointed him as [[Amir al-Hajj]] (commander of hajj) for three consecutive years from 36/656 to 38/658. In the third year, a military skirmish was about to take place between him and Yazid b. Shajara al-Ruhawi who was appointed by [[Mu'awiya]] as Amir al-Hajj. However, they eventually made a compromise and agreed that Shayba b. 'Uthman undertake the position of Amir al-Hajj. | During the period of the Prophet (s), 'Ubayd Allah was not old enough to be assigned a political or military task.

There is nothing in sources to show that 'Ubayd Allah had any political or military positions in the period of [[caliphs]] before Imam 'Ali (a). According to historical sources, he was appointed by Imam 'Ali (a) as the ruler of Yemen where he remained until the [[martyrdom]] of Imam 'Ali (a). Some events in this period have been narrated in sources, which are related to 'Ubayd Allah. For example, in 40/660 Mu'awiya sent [[Busr b. Artat al-'Amiri]] with 30,000 soldiers to invade realms of Imam 'Ali's (a) caliphate in [[Hijaz]] and Yemen. Busr went to [[Medina]] and then to [[Mecca]], and then he departed to Yemen. Before his arrival in Yemen, 'Ubayd Allah fled from Yemen to [[Kufa]], leaving his children behind and asking Imam 'Ali (a) for help. When Busr arrived in Yemen, he seized the House of Emirate (Dar al-Imara) and beheaded the two children of 'Ubayd Allah. 'Ali (a) sent an army to Yemen under the commandership of [[Jariya b. Qudama]] al-Sa'di. When Busr fled, Yemen was once again under the control of Imam 'Ali's (a) army, and 'Ubayd Allah returned there. | There is nothing in sources to show that 'Ubayd Allah had any political or military positions in the period of [[caliphs]] before Imam 'Ali (a).

In some sources of the Shiite [[hadiths]], there is no mention of 'Ubayd Allah fleeing from Yemen. According to these sources, when Busr invaded Yemen, 'Ubayd Allah was already in Mecca. When Busr arrived in Yemen, he looked for 'Ubay Allah, but he was told that 'Ubayd Allah was in Mecca. Thus, Busr found the two children of 'Ubayd Allah and beheaded them. | In some sources of the Shiite [[hadiths]], there is no mention of 'Ubayd Allah fleeing from Yemen.
