Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S51) Umar رضي الله عنه asked some men around him: “What are your wishes?”. One man replied: “That this room be full of silver and I spend it in the path of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى”. Umar رضي الله عنه wasn’t impressed. Another said: “that it be filled with gold” and another: “that it be filled with rubies and I spend it in the Path of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى”. Umar رضي الله عنه still wasn’t impressed. The men wondered what the right answer was. Umar رضي الله عنه said: “I wish this room was full of men like Abu Ubaydah, Muazh Ibn Jabal and Hudayfah Ibn al-Yaman [رضي الله عنهم], so I could employ them to serve the Deen”. Wealth is the standard for the people of the world, the standard for the God-fearing is Taqwa. Umar رضي الله عنه heard of the plague outbreak in Shaam. He رضي الله عنه said: “If I am martyred by the plague, my successor is Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه. If Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه passes before me, then my successor is Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه”. Such was the love and trust that Umar had for these 2 noble souls [رضي الله عنهم].
