1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:18,219
The Mawaddah Association is pleased

3
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:22,219
to present to you glimpses from the lives of the Companions,

4
00:00:22,219 --> 00:00:25,219
by Abd al-Rahman Ra'fat al-Basha,

5
00:00:25,219 --> 00:00:27,260
may Allah have mercy upon him.

6
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:33,250
Tufayl ibn Amr al-Dawsi, may Allah be pleased with him.

7
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Tufayl ibn Amr al-Dawsi:

8
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,640
The chieftain of the Daws tribe during the Age of Ignorance,

9
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,640
and a nobleman among the most prominent of the Arabs,

10
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,640
and one of the few known for his chivalry.

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,640
His fire was never extinguished,

12
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,640
and his door was never closed to a traveler.

13
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,640
He would feed the hungry,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,640
provide security for the fearful,

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,640
and grant refuge to those seeking it.

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Beyond that, he was a man of letters, intelligent and sagacious,

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,640
a poet of refined sensibility,

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,640
and delicate feelings,

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,640
with a keen eye for the beauty and bitterness of eloquence,

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,640
for words held a magical power over him.

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,900
Tufayl left the dwellings of his people in Tihamah, heading toward Makkah,

22
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:34,900
while the struggle was raging between the noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

23
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,900
and the disbelievers of Quraysh.

24
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,900
Each side wanted to win supporters for itself,

25
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,900
and attract allies to its cause.

26
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,900
The Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was calling to his Lord,

27
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,900
with faith and truth as his weapons.

28
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,900
The disbelievers of Quraysh,

29
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:54,900
were resisting his call with every weapon,

30
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,900
and turning people away from him by every means.

31
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,900
Tufayl found himself entering this battle completely unprepared,

32
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,900
and plunging into its depths without intent.

33
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,960
He had not come to Makkah for this purpose,

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,960
nor had the affair of Muhammad and Quraysh ever crossed his mind before.

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Hence, Tufayl ibn Amr al-Dawsi had

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,960
an unforgettable story regarding this struggle.

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,960
So let us listen to it,

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,960
for it is among the most remarkable of tales.

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,150
Tufayl narrated, saying:

40
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:30,150
"I arrived in Makkah,

41
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:34,180
and no sooner did the leaders of Quraysh see me than they approached me,

42
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:37,180
welcoming me with the warmest of welcomes,

43
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:40,340
and honoring me with the highest status among them.

44
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:44,340
Then their leaders and elders gathered around me and said:

45
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:48,340
'O Tufayl, you have come to our land,

46
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:51,340
and this man who claims to be a prophet

47
00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:54,340
has corrupted our affairs, torn our unity apart,

48
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:56,340
and scattered our community.

49
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:00,340
We fear that what has befallen us

50
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:02,340
will befall you and your leadership over your people.

51
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:04,340
So do not speak to the man,

52
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:06,340
and do not listen to anything from him,

53
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:09,340
for he has speech like magic,

54
00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:11,340
which separates a son from his father,

55
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:13,340
a brother from his brother,

56
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:16,340
and a wife from her husband.'"

57
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:18,340
Tufayl said:

58
00:03:18,340 --> 00:03:22,340
"By Allah, they kept at me, telling me of his strange reports,

59
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:27,340
and frightening me for myself and my people with his wondrous deeds,

60
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:31,340
until I resolved not to go near him,

61
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:35,340
and not to speak to him or hear anything from him.

62
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:39,340
When I went to the Mosque to circumambulate the Ka'bah,

63
00:03:39,340 --> 00:03:44,340
and seek blessings from its idols, which we used to perform pilgrimage to and venerate,

64
00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:46,340
I stuffed my ears with cotton,

65
00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:50,340
for fear that something of Muhammad's speech might reach my hearing.

66
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:53,340
But no sooner had I entered the Mosque

67
00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:57,340
than I found him standing, praying by the Ka'bah,

68
00:03:57,340 --> 00:03:59,340
a prayer different from our prayer,

69
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:03,340
and worshipping in a way different from our worship.

70
00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:05,379
His sight captivated me,

71
00:04:05,379 --> 00:04:07,379
and his worship moved me,

72
00:04:07,379 --> 00:04:13,379
and I found myself drawing closer to him, little by little, without intending to,

73
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:16,379
until I was near him.

74
00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:20,379
Allah willed that some of what he was saying should reach my ears,

75
00:04:20,379 --> 00:04:23,379
and I heard beautiful speech.

76
00:04:23,379 --> 00:04:25,410
I said to myself:

77
00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:27,410
'May your mother be bereaved of you, O Tufayl!

78
00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:30,439
You are an intelligent man and a poet,

79
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,439
and the difference between good and evil is not hidden from you.

80
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:37,569
What prevents you from listening to what the man says?

81
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:40,569
If what he brings is good, accept it,

82
00:04:40,569 --> 00:04:43,569
and if it is evil, reject it.'"

83
00:04:43,569 --> 00:04:45,569
Tufayl said:

84
00:04:45,569 --> 00:04:50,569
"Then I waited until the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, left for his house,

85
00:04:50,569 --> 00:04:54,569
and I followed him until, when he entered his home, I entered upon him.

86
00:04:54,569 --> 00:04:57,569
I said: 'O Muhammad,

87
00:04:57,569 --> 00:05:01,569
your people have told me such and such about you.

88
00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:05,600
By Allah, they did not cease frightening me about your affair,

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,600
until I blocked my ears with cotton so as not to hear your speech.

90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,889
Then Allah willed that I should hear something of it,

91
00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:15,889
and I found it to be good.

92
00:05:15,889 --> 00:05:18,050
So present your affair to me.'

93
00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:20,050
He presented his affair to me,

94
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:23,050
and recited to me Surah al-Ikhlas and al-Falaq.

95
00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:27,079
By Allah, I have never heard speech better than his,

96
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:30,079
nor have I seen an affair more just than his.

97
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,079
At that, he extended his hand to me,

98
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:36,079
and I testified that there is no god but Allah,

99
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:39,079
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

100
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:41,079
and I entered into Islam."

101
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:43,209
Tufayl said:

102
00:05:43,209 --> 00:05:45,209
"Then I stayed in Makkah for a time,

103
00:05:45,209 --> 00:05:47,209
during which I learned the matters of Islam,

104
00:05:47,209 --> 00:05:51,209
and memorized what I could of the Qur'an.

105
00:05:51,209 --> 00:05:54,209
When I resolved to return to my people,

106
00:05:54,209 --> 00:05:56,209
I said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

107
00:05:56,209 --> 00:05:59,209
I am a man obeyed among my kin,

108
00:05:59,209 --> 00:06:03,209
and I am returning to them to call them to Islam.

109
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:05,209
So pray to Allah to grant me a sign,

110
00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:08,209
that may be an aid to me in what I call them to.'

111
00:06:08,209 --> 00:06:09,370
He said:

112
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,370
'O Allah, grant him a sign.'

113
00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:14,430
So I went out to my people,

114
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:18,430
until, when I was at a place overlooking their dwellings,

115
00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:21,430
a light fell between my eyes,

116
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:23,660
like a lamp.

117
00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:24,660
I said:

118
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:27,660
'O Allah, place it somewhere other than my face,

119
00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:30,660
for I fear they might think it is a punishment

120
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:33,660
that fell upon my face for abandoning their religion.'

121
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,660
The light shifted,

122
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:37,660
and fell upon the head of my whip.

123
00:06:37,660 --> 00:06:41,660
People began to see that light on my whip,

124
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:43,660
like a hanging lantern,

125
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:46,660
while I was descending to them from the mountain pass.

126
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:48,660
When I descended,

127
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:49,660
my father came to me,

128
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:51,660
and he was a very old man.

129
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:52,660
I said:

130
00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:55,660
'Stay away from me, O my father,

131
00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:57,660
for I am not of you, and you are not of me.'

132
00:06:57,660 --> 00:06:58,660
He said:

133
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:00,660
'Why, my son?'

134
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:01,660
I said:

135
00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:04,660
'I have accepted Islam and followed the religion of Muhammad,

136
00:07:04,660 --> 00:07:06,660
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.'

137
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:07,660
He said:

138
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:08,660
'O my son,

139
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:10,660
my religion is your religion.'

140
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:11,660
I said:

141
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:14,660
'Go and wash yourself and purify your clothes,

142
00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:17,660
then come so I may teach you what I have learned.'

143
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,660
He went, washed, and purified his clothes,

144
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:23,660
then came, and I presented Islam to him,

145
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,660
and he accepted Islam.

146
00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:27,660
Then my wife came,

147
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:29,660
and I said: 'Stay away from me,

148
00:07:29,660 --> 00:07:31,660
for I am not of you, and you are not of me.'

149
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:32,660
She said:

150
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:35,660
'Why, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you?'

151
00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:36,660
I said:

152
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:39,660
'Islam has separated me from you,

153
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:42,660
for I have accepted Islam and followed the religion of Muhammad,

154
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:44,660
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.'

155
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:45,660
She said:

156
00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:47,660
'Then my religion is your religion.'

157
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:48,660
I said:

158
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:51,660
'Go and purify yourself with the water of Dhu al-Shara.'

159
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:56,660
Dhu al-Shara was an idol of Daws, around which was water that flowed down from the mountain.

160
00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:57,660
She said:

161
00:07:57,660 --> 00:07:59,660
'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you,

162
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:02,660
do you fear anything for the children from Dhu al-Shara?'

163
00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:03,660
I said:

164
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:05,660
'Woe to you and to Dhu al-Shara!

165
00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:09,660
I told you to go and wash there, far away from the people,

166
00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:14,660
and I guarantee to you that this deaf stone will not do anything.'

167
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:17,660
So she went, washed, and then came,

168
00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:19,660
and I presented Islam to her,

169
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:20,660
and she accepted Islam.

170
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:22,660
Then I called the Daws tribe,

171
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:25,660
but they were slow to respond, except for Abu Hurayrah,

172
00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:28,660
for he was the fastest of people to accept Islam."

173
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:30,750
Tufayl said:

174
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:32,750
"Then I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

175
00:08:32,750 --> 00:08:34,750
in Makkah,

176
00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:36,750
and with me was Abu Hurayrah.

177
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:39,750
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me:

178
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:41,750
'What is behind you, O Tufayl?'

179
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:43,750
I said:

180
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:46,750
'Hearts covered with veils and intense disbelief.

181
00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:50,750
Immorality and disobedience have overcome the Daws.'

182
00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:54,750
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up,

183
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:56,750
performed ablution, prayed,

184
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:58,750
and raised his hands to the sky.

185
00:08:58,750 --> 00:09:00,750
Abu Hurayrah said:

186
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:02,750
'When I saw him doing that,

187
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:05,750
I feared he would pray against my people and they would perish,

188
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:07,750
so I said: 'O my people!'

189
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:11,750
But the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

190
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:12,750
began to say:

191
00:09:12,750 --> 00:09:14,750
'O Allah, guide the Daws!

192
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,750
O Allah, guide the Daws!

193
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:19,750
O Allah, guide the Daws!'

194
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:21,850
Then he turned to Tufayl

195
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:22,850
and said:

196
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:24,850
'Return to your people, be gentle with them,

197
00:09:24,850 --> 00:09:26,850
and call them to Islam.'"

198
00:09:26,850 --> 00:09:28,850
Tufayl said:

199
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:30,850
I remained in the land of Daws,

200
00:09:30,850 --> 00:09:32,850
calling them to Islam,

201
00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:35,850
until the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, migrated

202
00:09:35,850 --> 00:09:37,850
to Medina.

203
00:09:37,850 --> 00:09:40,850
Badr, Uhud, and the Trench passed by,

204
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:43,850
and then I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

205
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:46,850
accompanied by eighty families from Daws.

206
00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:49,850
They had embraced Islam, and their Islam was sincere.

207
00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:53,850
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was pleased with us,

208
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:56,850
and he assigned us a share of the spoils of Khaybar along with the Muslims.

209
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,850
We said,

210
00:09:57,850 --> 00:09:59,850
"O Messenger of Allah,

211
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:02,850
place us on your right flank in every expedition you undertake,

212
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:05,850
and let our battle cry be 'Mabrur' (Righteous)."

213
00:10:05,850 --> 00:10:08,039
Al-Tufayl said,

214
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:12,039
"I remained with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

215
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:15,039
until Allah granted him the conquest of Mecca.

216
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,039
I said, 'O Messenger of Allah,

217
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:19,039
send me to Dhu al-Kaffayn,

218
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:21,039
the idol of 'Amr ibn Humama,

219
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:23,039
so that I may burn it.'"

220
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:26,039
The Prophet, peace be upon him, gave him permission.

221
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:29,039
He set out toward the idol with a detachment of his people.

222
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:32,039
When he reached it and intended to burn it,

223
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,039
men, women, and children gathered around him,

224
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,039
harboring evil intentions toward him,

225
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:40,039
waiting for a thunderbolt to strike him down

226
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:43,039
if he were to inflict any harm upon Dhu al-Kaffayn.

227
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,039
But al-Tufayl,

228
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:48,039
approached the idol in full view of its worshippers,

229
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:50,039
and began to set fire to its base,

230
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,039
while reciting verses:

231
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:55,039
"O Dhu al-Kaffayn, I am not one of your worshippers;

232
00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:58,039
our birth is older than your birth.

233
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,039
I have stuffed fire into your base."

234
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:04,070
No sooner had the fire consumed the idol

235
00:11:04,070 --> 00:11:07,070
than it consumed with it what remained of polytheism

236
00:11:07,070 --> 00:11:09,070
in the tribe of Daws.

237
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:11,070
The entire tribe embraced Islam,

238
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:13,070
and their Islam was sincere.

239
00:11:13,070 --> 00:11:16,070
Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi remained,

240
00:11:16,070 --> 00:11:19,070
after that, in the company of the Messenger of Allah,

241
00:11:19,070 --> 00:11:21,070
may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him,

242
00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:23,070
until the Prophet was taken

243
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:25,070
to the side of his Lord.

244
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:28,070
When the Caliphate passed after him

245
00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:30,070
to his companion, al-Siddiq (Abu Bakr),

246
00:11:30,070 --> 00:11:33,070
al-Tufayl placed himself, his sword, and his son

247
00:11:33,070 --> 00:11:36,070
in obedience to the successor of the Messenger of Allah.

248
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:38,070
When the Wars of Apostasy broke out,

249
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:41,070
al-Tufayl rushed to the vanguard of the Muslim army

250
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:44,070
to fight Musaylima the Liar,

251
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:46,070
accompanied by his son, 'Amr.

252
00:11:46,070 --> 00:11:49,070
While he was on his way to al-Yamama,

253
00:11:49,070 --> 00:11:50,070
he saw a vision.

254
00:11:50,070 --> 00:11:52,070
He said to his companions,

255
00:11:52,070 --> 00:11:54,070
"I have seen a vision,

256
00:11:54,070 --> 00:11:55,070
so interpret it for me."

257
00:11:55,070 --> 00:11:57,070
They asked, "What did you see?"

258
00:11:57,070 --> 00:11:58,070
He said,

259
00:11:58,070 --> 00:12:00,070
"I saw that my head had been shaved,

260
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:03,070
that a bird had emerged from my mouth,

261
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:06,070
and that a woman had taken me into her womb."

262
00:12:06,070 --> 00:12:10,070
"And I saw that my son 'Amr was seeking me urgently,

263
00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:13,139
but a barrier was placed between him and me."

264
00:12:13,139 --> 00:12:15,139
They said, "It is good."

265
00:12:15,139 --> 00:12:16,139
He said,

266
00:12:16,139 --> 00:12:19,139
"As for me, by Allah, I have interpreted it:

267
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:21,139
As for the shaving of my head,

268
00:12:21,139 --> 00:12:23,139
it means it will be severed.

269
00:12:23,139 --> 00:12:26,139
As for the bird that emerged from my mouth,

270
00:12:26,139 --> 00:12:28,139
it is my soul.

271
00:12:28,139 --> 00:12:31,139
As for the woman who took me into her womb,

272
00:12:31,139 --> 00:12:32,139
it is the earth

273
00:12:32,139 --> 00:12:34,139
being dug for me,

274
00:12:34,139 --> 00:12:36,139
so that I may be buried in its depths.

275
00:12:36,139 --> 00:12:39,139
I hope to be killed as a martyr.

276
00:12:39,139 --> 00:12:41,139
As for my son seeking me,

277
00:12:41,139 --> 00:12:45,139
it means he is seeking the martyrdom that I shall attain,

278
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:47,139
if Allah wills,

279
00:12:47,139 --> 00:12:50,139
but he will attain it later."

280
00:12:50,139 --> 00:12:52,139
In the Battle of al-Yamama,

281
00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:54,139
the noble Companion,

282
00:12:54,139 --> 00:12:56,139
al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi,

283
00:12:56,139 --> 00:12:58,139
fought most valiantly,

284
00:12:58,139 --> 00:13:02,139
until he fell as a martyr on the battlefield.

285
00:13:02,139 --> 00:13:04,139
As for his son 'Amr,

286
00:13:04,139 --> 00:13:06,139
he continued to fight

287
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:08,139
until wounds exhausted him,

288
00:13:08,139 --> 00:13:10,139
and his right hand was severed.

289
00:13:10,139 --> 00:13:12,139
He returned to Medina,

290
00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:16,139
leaving behind his father and his hand on the soil of al-Yamama.

291
00:13:16,139 --> 00:13:19,230
During the Caliphate of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab,

292
00:13:19,230 --> 00:13:21,230
'Amr ibn al-Tufayl entered upon him.

293
00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:24,230
Food was brought to the Commander of the Faithful,

294
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:26,230
and the people were sitting with him.

295
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:28,230
He invited the people to eat,

296
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:30,230
but 'Amr withdrew.

297
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:32,230
The Commander of the Faithful said to him,

298
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:36,230
"What is the matter? Perhaps you are holding back from the food out of shyness because of your hand?"

299
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:39,230
He said, "Yes, O Commander of the Faithful."

300
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:43,230
He said, "By Allah, I will not taste this food

301
00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:46,230
until you mix it with your severed hand.

302
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:48,230
By Allah, there is no one among the people

303
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:51,230
who has a part of himself in Paradise except you."

304
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:53,230
He meant by that his hand.

305
00:13:53,230 --> 00:13:56,230
The dream of martyrdom continued to beckon to 'Amr

306
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:58,230
ever since he parted from his father.

307
00:13:58,230 --> 00:14:01,230
When the Battle of Yarmouk took place,

308
00:14:01,230 --> 00:14:04,230
'Amr hastened to it among the first,

309
00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:06,230
and he continued to fight

310
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:10,230
until he attained the martyrdom his father had promised him.

311
00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:14,259
May Allah have mercy on al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi,

312
00:14:14,259 --> 00:14:16,259
for he was a martyr,

313
00:14:16,259 --> 00:14:18,259
and the father of a martyr.

314
00:14:18,259 --> 00:14:25,289
O Allah, grant him a sign that aids him in the good he intends.

315
00:14:25,289 --> 00:14:27,289
From the supplication of the Messenger,

316
00:14:27,289 --> 00:14:30,700
through Muhammad and his companions.

317
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,700
The lofty structure has been aided,

318
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:35,700
O slogan, assist me and pour forth;

319
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:38,700
in their praise, can there be any more?
