Ameen ul Ummah Hazrat Abu Ubaidah Bin Jarrah RA.
In a narration, it is mentioned that at the time of his demise, Hazrat Umar(ra) said, “If Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) was alive today, I would have appointed him as Caliph. If my Lord would have asked me as to why I did so, I would say, ‘I heard Your Prophet(sa) say that Abu Ubaidah is the Custodian of this Ummah and as such, I have made him my successor.’” The incident regarding the disagreement over who should be the Khilafa between the Ansar and the Muhajireen, which took place immediately after the Holy Prophet’ssa demise has been mentioned in Sahih Bukhari. I have previously quoted this whilst narrating the accounts of another companion; however, it is also important to narrate this with reference to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra).
