Biografi Lengkap
Ubada ibn al-Samit al-Ansari was one of the foremost scholars and leaders among the Ansar of Medina. He was among the twelve representatives who took the First Pledge of Aqaba, and later participated in both the First and Second Pledges. He was a hafiz of the Quran and one of the first to formally teach it in Medina. The Prophet appointed him to teach the Quran to the people of Medina and to the new community of Saqifa.
He later moved to Greater Syria and became one of the key transmitters of Islamic knowledge there. He served as a judge in Palestine and was known for his principled stands against corruption — famously confronting Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan when the latter attempted to manipulate gold currency, after which he declared he would not remain in a land where falsehood was practiced. He passed away in Palestine around 34 AH as one of the most respected jurists of his generation.
