Ubaydah ibn al-Harith RA

Ubaydah ibn al-Harith ibn al-Muttalib RA was an elderly relative of the Prophet ﷺ from the line of al-Muttalib, brother of Hashim. In the early months in Madinah he led one of the first expeditions, on which Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas RA shot the first arrow in the Way of Allah. By one report he had married Zaynab bint Khuzayma, later a wife of the Prophet ﷺ. At Badr in 2 AH the Prophet ﷺ called him out with Hamzah RA and Ali RA to face the Quraysh champions; Utbah ibn Rabi'ah cut off his leg before the other two killed Utbah, and Ubaydah died of the wound at al-Safra on the way home, a martyr of Badr.
