Humility of Abu โUbaydah ibn-AlJarrahย
When โUmar came to Syria, he said to Aboo โUbaydah, โtake us to to your house.โ
He said, โWhat will you do at my house? All you will do is weep for me!โ
โUmar entered the house and did not see anything, to which โUmar said, โWhere is your furniture? I do not see anything but a saddle, a plate and a waterskin, and you are the governor! Do you have any food?โ
Abu โUbaydah went to a basket and took out some pieces of bread. โUmar wept and Abu โUbaydah said to him, โI told you that you would weep for me O Ameer Al-Muโmineen. Whatever gets you to your destination is enough.โ
โUmar said, โThis world has changed us all except you, O Abu โUbaydah.โ
According to another narration, he walked with him until he came to his house, then he stayed with him, and he did not see anything in his house except his sword, shield and saddle.
