Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah (radiAllahu anhu)

Amidst such people, known as the custodian

Of the Prophet ﷺ, an ever-present guardian

Known to be courteous, humble and shy

But if you get in his way, prepare to die

As his father found out on the day of Badr

Tried to avoid it, but you can't avoid Qadr

Sacrificed two teeth to help the Prophet ﷺ

The chain links so deep, so hard he bit

Abu Bakr trusted him with the caliphate

So highly his character, the people did rate

Umar on his deathbed wanted him as the third

And no-one around could've said a bad word

Leader of the armies of Syria, Governor of the Levant

During the great famine, 4000 camels of food he sent

The liberator of Jerusalem, during the plague, met his end

His likes these days, would never descend
