Have faith in Allah's power even when outnumbered or facing death; Show courage through leadership & example through action; Give ten for every head as booty if possible; Compete fairly even if you are older than your opponent .

This hadith is about the battle of Yarmouk which took place in 636 AD during the Muslim conquest of Syria under Caliph Umar ibn Al Khattab's rule. Five commanders were appointed to lead this battle; namely, Abu Ubaida Bin Al Jarrah, Yazeed Bin Abi Sufyan, Ibn Hasanah, Khalid Bin Al Waleed and Iyad who was not the one who narrated reports to Simak. Umar instructed them that if fighting occurs then their commander should be Abu Ubaida so they wrote him asking for reinforcements but he told them that Allah has more support than their numbers so they should fight without referring back to him which they did and won with great success by killing many enemies for four parasangs while acquiring wealth as booty. During this time Iyad suggested that ten should be given for every head as booty while there was also a horse race between Abu Ubaida and a young man where he beat him with his two braids flying behind him on an Arabian horse. This hadith teaches us that we must have faith in Allah's power even when we are outnumbered or facing death because He will always provide us with support if we ask Him sincerely while also teaching us courage through leadership like what was shown by Umar ibn Al Khattab's instructions as well as by example through actions like what was done by Abu Ubaida during his horse race against a young man despite being older than him in age.
