00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:03.359
Stop.

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.179
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:22.670
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:22.670 --> 00:00:24.670
I am from the Ansar.

00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:26.670
I embraced Islam.

00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:31.670
I witnessed all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:33.740
On the day of Badr,

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:35.740
I set out with the Muslims.

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:38.740
On the way, a stone struck me,

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:40.740
and my leg was broken.

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:44.740
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me back to Medina.

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.740
He assigned me a share of the spoils,

00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.899
so I was like one who had actually witnessed it.

00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:53.899
My brother is Abdullah Ibn Jubayr, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:56.899
the commander of the archers on the day of Uhud.

00:00:56.899 --> 00:01:01.789
Before my Islam, I was a poet with an eloquent tongue.

00:01:01.789 --> 00:01:05.790
I loved flirting with women and sitting in their company.

00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:07.819
After I embraced Islam,

00:01:07.819 --> 00:01:11.819
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him, on a journey.

00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:14.819
We stopped at a place,

00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:16.819
and I stepped out of my tent.

00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:19.819
Suddenly, I found some women talking,

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:21.819
and I was captivated by them.

00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:25.819
I returned to my tent and took my belongings,

00:01:25.819 --> 00:01:28.819
from which I pulled out a beautiful garment.

00:01:28.819 --> 00:01:30.819
I put it on,

00:01:30.819 --> 00:01:32.819
and came and sat with them.

00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:38.079
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came out of his tent,

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.079
saw me, and recognized me.

00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.079
He said to me,

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.079
"Abu Abdullah,

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.079
what makes you sit with them?"

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.079
When I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.079
I was struck with awe and became flustered.

00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.079
I said,

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.079
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.079
I have a stray camel,

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.079
and I am searching for it."

00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:04.340
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, walked on,

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:06.340
and I followed him.

00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:09.340
He relieved himself and performed wudu,

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:14.430
and he approached with water dripping from his beard onto his chest.

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:15.430
He said,

00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:17.430
"Abu Abdullah,

00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:20.460
what became of your stray camel?"

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.590
I lowered my head in shame before him.

00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:25.590
Then we departed,

00:02:25.590 --> 00:02:29.590
and whenever he saw me during the journey, he would say,

00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:32.590
"Peace be upon you, Abu Abdullah,

00:02:32.590 --> 00:02:35.590
what became of that stray camel?"

00:02:35.590 --> 00:02:40.819
When I saw that from him, peace be upon him,

00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:42.819
I was overcome with shyness.

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:45.819
I hurried to Medina,

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:51.819
and I avoided the mosque and sitting with the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:53.879
When he said that,

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.879
I waited for a time of solitude.

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.909
I came to the mosque and stood to pray.

00:03:00.909 --> 00:03:06.909
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, suddenly came out of one of his chambers,

00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:08.909
entered the mosque,

00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:11.909
and prayed two light rak'ahs.

00:03:11.909 --> 00:03:13.909
I prolonged my prayer,

00:03:13.909 --> 00:03:18.039
hoping that he would leave and let me be.

00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.039
He said,

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.039
"Prolong it, Abu Abdullah, as much as you wish to prolong it,

00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.039
for I will not stand up until you finish."

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.229
I said to myself,

00:03:29.229 --> 00:03:34.229
"By Allah, I will surely apologize to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:03:34.229 --> 00:03:37.229
and I will surely please his heart."

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:41.300
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:44.300
"Peace be upon you, Abu Abdullah,

00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.300
what became of that stray camel?"

00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:49.389
I said,

00:03:49.389 --> 00:03:51.389
"By the One who sent you with the truth,

00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:55.419
no camel of mine has strayed since I embraced Islam."

00:03:55.419 --> 00:04:00.550
The Prophet, peace be upon him, smiled at me,

00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:02.550
and said,

00:04:02.550 --> 00:04:04.550
"May Allah have mercy on you."

00:04:04.550 --> 00:04:09.840
After that, I never returned to anything related to women.

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.319
So, who am I?

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:29.579
If Allah wills.
