00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.459
Stop.

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:08.460
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them.

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:16.460
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:22.019
I am one of the scholars among the Companions.

00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:24.019
I embraced Islam while I was still young.

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:27.019
I was among the allies of the Ansar.

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:30.149
My mother brought me to Medina.

00:00:30.149 --> 00:00:32.149
After the death of my father.

00:00:32.149 --> 00:00:35.149
She married a man from the Ansar.

00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:39.149
I was raised under his care until I became a young boy.

00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:44.179
I used to attend the gatherings of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:47.179
I memorized a great deal of knowledge from him.

00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:50.179
Nothing prevented me from speaking.

00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:53.179
Except that there were men present here.

00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:58.009
Who were older than me in age.

00:00:58.009 --> 00:01:00.009
When the Battle of Uhud took place.

00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:04.010
I wanted to participate with the Muslims in the battle.

00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:09.010
But the Prophet, peace be upon him, turned me away because of my young age.

00:01:09.010 --> 00:01:13.069
Yet he permitted Rafi' Ibn Khadij, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:01:13.069 --> 00:01:16.069
So I said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:01:16.069 --> 00:01:19.069
You have permitted him and turned me away,

00:01:19.069 --> 00:01:22.170
Even though if I were to wrestle him, I would throw him to the ground."

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:25.170
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:28.170
"Go ahead and wrestle him."

00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:30.170
I wrestled him and threw him to the ground.

00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:34.170
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, permitted me to join.

00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:39.939
I was the governor of Basra during the Umayyad era.

00:01:39.939 --> 00:01:43.939
During my governorship, I was stern against the Khawarij.

00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:47.939
If they brought one of them to me, I would execute him.

00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:52.939
And I would say, "They are the worst of the slain under the canopy of the sky;

00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:58.129
They declare Muslims to be disbelievers and shed blood."

00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:04.569

00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:13.860
Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:18.979
The best of generations in their stances and examples,

00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:23.979
Following the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:28.979
They were here, watering the clouds of our lives,

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:33.979
And whenever their memory is mentioned among us, it is exalted.

00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:38.979
They departed and cast a question into the conscience:

00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:43.979
Is there a star like them that has risen and shone?

00:02:43.979 --> 00:02:48.979
They filled life with glories through their deeds,

00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:53.979
And the world of humanity flourished because of them.
