During the [[caliphate]] of 'Umar b. al-Khattab, Shurahbil was commissioned by Abu 'Ubayda to aid [['Amr b. al-'As]]. They conquered the whole Jordan, and they only conquered Tiberias without a war. He also conquered Beit She'an, Susiya, Afiq, Jerash, Capitolias, Qadas, Golan, and on some accounts, Acre, Tyre, and Safuriyya. In the [[Battle of Marj al-Suffar]], Shurahbil greatly exhibited his competence and merits. He then sent Khalid b. al-Walid to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr sent him with an army to Syria, instead of [[al-Walid b. 'Uqba]]. | During the [[caliphate]] of 'Umar b. al-Khattab, Shurahbil was commissioned by Abu 'Ubayda to aid [['Amr b. al-'As]].
