The Burial: It is documented in sources like Tabaqat Ibn Sa'd that the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his grave and lowered him in with his own hands. This was a significant honor, as Ubaydah was considered the first martyr from the Prophet's family.

A "Beautiful Fragrance": Traditional accounts also mention that years later, when the Prophet was passing by the area again, he and his companions noted a beautiful fragrance emanating from the grave.
