It has been reported on the authority of Abu Zubair who heard Jabir b. Abdullah say: I fought in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) nineteen battles. Jabir said: I did not participate in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud. My father prevented me (from participating in these battles as my age was tender). After ‘Abdullah (my father) was killed on the Day of Ubud, I never lagged behind the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and joined every battle (he fought).
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا زهير بن حرب، حدثنا روح بن عبادة، حدثنا زكرياء، أخبرنا أبو الزبير، أنه سمع جابر بن عبد الله، يقول غزوت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تسع عشرة غزوة – قال جابر – لم أشهد بدرا ولا أحدا منعني أبي فلما قتل عبد الله يوم أحد لم أتخلف عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة قط .
