Summary
His part at Badr
When the Prophet urged the Muslims to fight and said, “Rise up to a Garden as wide as the heavens and the earth,” Umayr said, “Bakh, bakh!” (an exclamation of delight). He was asked what had made him say this. He replied, “No, by God, O Messenger of God, only the hope that I may be one of its people.” The Prophet said, “You are indeed one of its people.” 1 2.
He took some dates from his quiver and began to eat them. Then he said, “If I live until I finish these dates, that would be a long life.” He threw away the dates he had and fought until he was killed. 2.
