完整生平
Jarir ibn Abd Allah al-Bajali was a chieftain of the Bajila tribe of Yemen and was celebrated by the companions for being the most handsome man among them. He embraced Islam in 10 AH at the Prophet's invitation and pledged allegiance in what became known as the 'pledge of Jarir' — he promised to worship none but Allah, perform the prayer, give the zakat, and offer sincere counsel to every Muslim. The Prophet embraced him at the pledge and said he was 'a man of good appearance and good character.'
He was dispatched by the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab to destroy the idol-temple of Dhu al-Khalaqa in Yemen, which he accomplished and reported back poetically. He participated in the conquests of Iraq and Persia. He settled in Kufa and became a respected hadith narrator. He is credited with a celebrated hadith on the obligation of sincere counsel (nasiha) to all Muslims. He passed away around 51 AH.
