[Machine] "O people, repent to Allah from your sins with a sincere repentance. Indeed, Allah's servant does not meet Allah while repenting from his sins except that it is obligatory upon Allah to forgive him." Then he said, "Verily, you O people, have been struck by the death of a man. By Allah, I do not claim that I have seen among the servants of Allah a slave who had less pride, who had a more open heart, who was less arrogant, who had a stronger love for the Hereafter, and who gave better advice to the general public than him. So have mercy upon him, may Allah have mercy on him, and then raise your voices in sending blessings upon him. By Allah, there will never be anyone better than him amongst you."

The people gathered, Abu Ubaidah came out, and Mu'adh advanced and prayed upon him until when they brought him to his grave, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Amr bin al-Aas, and Dhahhak bin Qais entered his grave. When they had lowered him into his grave and came out, they covered him with dirt. Mu'adh bin Jabal said, "O Abu Ubaidah, I only praise you and I do not say anything false. I fear that Allah may cause me to be held accountable for it. By Allah, I did not know of those who remember Allah frequently and those who walk humbly upon the earth, and when the ignorant address them, they say Peace. And I did not know of those who spend without extravagance or stinginess, and they maintain a balance between the two. And I swear by Allah, you were among the supplicators, the humble ones, those who have mercy on orphans and the poor, and those who despise the treacherous and the arrogant." Adh-Dhahabi stopped mentioning it in his summary.
