Hazrat Abu Ubaida (R.A) was one of the most prominent companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is famously known by his kunya (teknonym) "Abu Ubaida." His full name was Aamir bin Abdullah bin al-Jarrah, and he belonged to the Quraysh tribe. He is counted among the Ashra Mubashra (the ten companions promised Paradise) and was known for his trustworthiness, earning him the title "Amin-ul-Ummah" (Trustee of the Nation) given by the Prophet (PBUH).
Hazrat Abu Ubaida (R.A) accepted Islam early through the invitation of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A). He participated in all major battles including Badr and Uhud, and played a crucial role in the Ghazwa of Uhud where he pulled out the rings of the Prophet's (PBUH) helmet from his blessed cheeks using his teeth, losing two of his own teeth in the process. During the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (R.A), he was appointed as the commander of the Muslim army in Syria and later died in the plague of Amwas in 18 AH.
