The Battle of Badr (1) passed him by; this was stated by Abū Dāwūd.
It is also reported that he was of a brown complexion, large, powerfully built, and with a thick beard.
He stood at the forefront of asceticism, truthfulness, knowledge, and practice—ever outspoken with the truth, fearing no critic in his devotion to Allah, though a certain sharpness of temper was found in him.
He witnessed the conquest of Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis) with ʿUmar.
