He also fought in the Battle of Damascus in 634 . In recognition for his services, the Muslim commander Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah , despatched Uqbah to Medina to convey the liberation of Damascus to Umar ibn al-Khattab . Uqbah was also one of the commanders of the Muslim forces that took Egypt . He memorized numerous hadith on the subject of jihad and became a specialist in their narraton. Uqbah also left a Mushaf of the Quran written in his own hand, which existed until recently in Egypt in the well-known mosque named after him.
