[Machine] From his elders, they said, "Ayyad ibn Ghannam ibn Zuhair ibn Abi Shaddad ibn Rabia ibn Hilal ibn Ahayb ibn Dabbah ibn Al-Harith ibn Fehr accepted Islam before the Battle of Hudaybiyyah and witnessed the Battle of Hudaybiyyah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He had with him Umm al-Hakam bint Abi Sufyan ibn Harb. When Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah passed away, he appointed Ayyad to succeed him, and Ayyad was a righteous man. When the news of his death reached Umar ibn al-Khattab, he expressed great sorrow and mercy towards him, and he said, 'No one can take your place. Who was appointed to take care of his affairs?' They said, 'Ayyad ibn Ghannam.' Umar confirmed it and wrote to him, 'Indeed, I have appointed you to the position that Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah held, so work according to what is right for Allah upon you.' Ayyad died the day he died, and he had no wealth, nor did he owe anyone. He was buried in Sham (Greater Syria) in the year twenty at the age of sixty."
