1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,360 Pause. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 A new challenge: Who am I? 4 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:21,769 I am one of the noble Companions. 5 00:00:21,769 --> 00:00:26,769 And one of those most beloved to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 6 00:00:26,769 --> 00:00:28,769 I am the leader of my people. 7 00:00:28,769 --> 00:00:33,829 And I am among the most handsome of people in face and the best of them in appearance. 8 00:00:33,829 --> 00:00:37,829 So much so that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, called me: 9 00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:41,890 The Joseph of this Ummah. 10 00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:44,890 I embraced Islam in the tenth year of the Hijrah. 11 00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:48,890 I arrived to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 12 00:00:48,890 --> 00:00:52,890 along with one hundred and fifty men from my people. 13 00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:54,890 When we reached Medina, 14 00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:56,890 I knelt my camel, 15 00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,890 then I put on my best attire, 16 00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:01,890 and entered the mosque. 17 00:01:01,890 --> 00:01:05,950 The Prophet, peace be upon him, was delivering a sermon. 18 00:01:05,950 --> 00:01:08,980 The people turned their eyes toward me. 19 00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:10,980 I asked the person next to me, 20 00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:12,980 "O servant of Allah, 21 00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:17,980 did the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, mention me at all?" 22 00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:19,980 He said, "Yes, 23 00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:21,980 he mentioned you in the best of ways. 24 00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:24,079 While he was delivering the sermon, 25 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,079 he paused in his speech, 26 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:28,079 and said, 27 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:32,109 'There shall enter upon you from this mountain pass 28 00:01:32,109 --> 00:01:34,109 a man from the best of Yemen. 29 00:01:34,109 --> 00:01:38,140 Behold, upon his face is the mark of kingship.'" 30 00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,299 Then you entered. 31 00:01:40,299 --> 00:01:42,400 When I heard that, 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,400 I praised Allah, the Almighty and Majestic. 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,620 Then I pledged allegiance to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 34 00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,620 to perform prayer and pay zakat, 35 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:54,689 and to offer sincere counsel to every Muslim. 36 00:01:54,689 --> 00:01:58,689 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never denied me access 37 00:01:58,689 --> 00:02:00,780 since I embraced Islam, 38 00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:04,870 and he never saw me without smiling. 39 00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:09,870 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me one day, 40 00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:12,900 "Will you not relieve me of al-Khalasah?" 41 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,900 It was a house worshipped during the pre-Islamic era, 42 00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,969 known as the Yemeni Ka'bah. 43 00:02:19,969 --> 00:02:23,969 So I set out toward it with one hundred and fifty horsemen, 44 00:02:23,969 --> 00:02:29,969 to demolish it and relieve the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the Muslims from it. 45 00:02:29,969 --> 00:02:35,129 But I complained to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 46 00:02:35,129 --> 00:02:39,129 and mentioned to him that I could not stay firm on horseback. 47 00:02:39,129 --> 00:02:43,189 He struck my chest with his hand and said, 48 00:02:43,189 --> 00:02:45,189 "O Allah, make him firm, 49 00:02:45,189 --> 00:02:49,189 and make him a guide who is rightly guided." 50 00:02:49,189 --> 00:02:51,289 So I set out toward it, 51 00:02:51,289 --> 00:02:55,120 and burned it with fire. 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,120 I once sent my servant to buy me a horse. 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120 He found a horse that he liked, 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120 and he bargained with its owner 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,120 until he reached three hundred dirhams. 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,120 The horse was worth more than that. 57 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,120 When the servant brought the horse and its owner to me to collect the price, 58 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,120 I said to him, 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 "For how much did you buy the horse?" 60 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,120 He said, 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120 "For three hundred dirhams." 62 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,120 I said to the owner of the horse, 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,120 "Your horse is worth five hundred." 64 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,219 The servant was annoyed with me. 65 00:03:32,219 --> 00:03:34,219 The man said, 66 00:03:34,219 --> 00:03:35,219 "I am satisfied." 67 00:03:35,219 --> 00:03:37,310 I said, 68 00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,310 "Rather, it is worth eight hundred dirhams." 69 00:03:40,310 --> 00:03:41,310 He said, 70 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:43,379 "I am satisfied." 71 00:03:43,379 --> 00:03:46,379 So I gave him the eight hundred dirhams, 72 00:03:46,379 --> 00:03:48,379 and took the horse. 73 00:03:48,379 --> 00:03:50,379 The servant asked, 74 00:03:50,379 --> 00:03:51,379 "What is this?" 75 00:03:51,379 --> 00:03:53,469 I said to him, 76 00:03:53,469 --> 00:03:58,469 "I have pledged to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 77 00:03:58,469 --> 00:04:01,919 to offer sincere counsel to every Muslim." 78 00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:07,759 So, who am I? 79 00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:11,979
