00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:12.179
Stop and learn about the companions, scholars, and notables

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179
A new challenge from me

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:23.260
I am one of the youngest companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:27.260
I was a servant of Nafi Ibn Abd al-Harith, may God be pleased with him

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.260
So he freed me and I became one of my followers

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:35.899
I loved the Qur’an and science and learned about them

00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:39.899
When Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, assumed the caliphate

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:43.899
Nafi Ibn Abd al-Harith used it on Mecca

00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:46.899
Nafi' went out to Asfan

00:00:46.899 --> 00:00:48.899
He appointed me as his successor in Mecca

00:00:48.899 --> 00:00:53.899
The Commander of the Faithful, Omar, may God be pleased with him, met him in Asfan

00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:59.899
He said to him: Who did you appoint as successor over the people of the valley, meaning Mecca?

00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:04.900
He said, “I have appointed as successor over them a man from among our loyalists.”

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:09.019
Omar said: I appointed a master over them

00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:17.060
He said that he is a reader of the Book of God Almighty and knowledgeable of the religious duties

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:20.180
Omar, may God be pleased with him, said

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:24.180
As for your Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said:

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:28.180
God raises people with this book

00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:31.180
And he puts others in it

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:34.180
Omar, may God be pleased with him, said about me

00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:39.180
This Mawla is one of those whom God has exalted in the Qur’an

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:42.790
Then I moved to Kufa

00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:46.790
I taught people the Qur’an and science

00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:50.790
I used to advise young people to get married and take the initiative to do so

00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:52.790
And I tell them

00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:55.790
Like a good woman to a man

00:01:55.790 --> 00:02:00.790
Like the gold-studded crown on a king's head

00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:05.659
Then Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, employed me

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:07.659
On Khorasan

00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:09.659
So I moved to her

00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:12.659
I stayed there until my death

00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:14.780
Who am I?
