00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.360
Pause.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:22.030
I am one of the Companions from the Ansar.

00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:25.030
I was among the first to embrace Islam.

00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:31.030
I witnessed the Battle of Badr and all subsequent battles with the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:31.030 --> 00:00:35.030
I stood firm on the day of Uhud when the people retreated.

00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:38.030
On that day, I pledged to fight to the death.

00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:43.030
I stood defending the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, with my arrows.

00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:46.030
He, peace be upon him, said:

00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:50.030
"Shoot, Sahl, for he is easy [to deal with]."

00:00:50.030 --> 00:00:56.030
After the battle, the Prophet, peace be upon him, praised me.

00:00:56.030 --> 00:01:02.060
When Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, entered to see Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, with his sword,

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:07.060
while she was washing the blood from the face of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:10.060
he gave her the sword and said:

00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:14.060
"Take it, for he has fought well with it."

00:01:14.060 --> 00:01:17.060
The Prophet, peace be upon him, then said:

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:22.060
"If he has fought well, then so-and-so has also fought well,"

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:25.260
and he called me by my name.

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:28.260
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not give

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:32.260
any of the wealth of Banu al-Nadir to anyone from the Ansar

00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:38.260
except for me and Abu Dujanah, may Allah be pleased with him, because of our poverty.

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:42.439
I went out on an expedition with the Muslims,

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.439
and I stopped at a stream and bathed in it.

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.439
I was fair-skinned and had beautiful skin.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.439
Amir ibn Rabi'ah saw me and said,

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:58.439
"By Allah, I have never seen anything like today, not even the skin of a virgin."

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.439
His evil eye struck me, and I fell ill with a fever,

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.469
barely able to lift my head.

00:02:05.469 --> 00:02:09.469
They brought me to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:11.469
and informed him of my condition.

00:02:11.469 --> 00:02:14.469
He, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:14.469 --> 00:02:17.469
"Do you suspect anyone regarding this?"

00:02:17.469 --> 00:02:21.469
They said, "Yes, we suspect Amir ibn Rabi'ah."

00:02:21.469 --> 00:02:24.469
"For he said such and such."

00:02:24.469 --> 00:02:27.539
So he, peace be upon him, summoned him,

00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:29.539
and spoke to him sternly,

00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:33.539
saying, "Why would one of you kill his brother?

00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:36.539
What prevents one of you, when he sees in his brother

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:39.539
something that impresses him regarding his person or his wealth,

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:41.539
from invoking blessings upon him?

00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:43.539
The evil eye is real.

00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:45.569
Perform ghusl for him."

00:02:45.569 --> 00:02:48.759
So Amir washed his face, his hands,

00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.759
his elbows, his knees,

00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.759
the extremities of his feet,

00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.759
and the inside of his lower garment into a vessel.

00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.759
Then they poured it over me,

00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.759
and I stood up and walked with the people,

00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.759
as if there were nothing wrong with me.

00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.719
When my time of death approached,

00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.719
the Caliph of the Muslims prayed over me,

00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.719
Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.719
Ali performed six takbirs over me.

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.780
Some of the people seemed to disapprove of that,

00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:20.780
so he said to them,

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:22.780
"He was a veteran of Badr,

00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:26.780
and the people of Badr have a merit over others,

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:29.780
so I wanted to make their merit known to you."

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.199
So, who am I?

00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:40.259
