He was a prominent participant at Badr. Al-Wāqidī states that he witnessed both Pledges of ʿAqabah, and there is no disagreement that he was present at the second. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between him and ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, though Ibn Isḥāq maintained that the pairing was with Ḥāṭib ibn Abī Baltaʿah (1).
Mūsā ibn Yaʿqūb al-Zamʿī, reporting from al-Sarī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from ʿAbbād ibn Ḥamzah, who heard Jābir, related that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “How excellent a servant among the servants of Allah, and a man of Paradise is ʿUwaym ibn Saʿidah.” (2)
