WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.109 Pause and identify the Companions, scholars, and prominent figures. 00:00:12.109 --> 00:00:16.109 A new challenge: Who am I? 00:00:16.109 --> 00:00:22.320 I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.320 I am among the leaders of the Muhajirun and those whose migration is counted as two migrations. 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.320 I was known for the Qur'an, for knowledge, and for judicial authority. 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.320 I witnessed the Battle of Khaybar and the events thereafter with the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.320 And I participated with the Caliphs after him in the Islamic conquests. 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.409 When the Prophet, peace be upon him, finished the campaign of Hunayn, 00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:52.409 he sent my uncle, Abu 'Amir, in command of an army to Awtas. 00:00:52.409 --> 00:00:56.409 He sent me with him, and we encountered Durayd ibn al-Simmah. 00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:00.409 Durayd was killed, and Allah defeated his companions. 00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:03.409 My uncle, Abu 'Amir, was struck by an arrow in his knee. 00:01:03.409 --> 00:01:08.409 I rushed to him and said, "O my uncle, who shot you?" 00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:13.409 He pointed to a man and said, "That is the one who shot me." 00:01:13.409 --> 00:01:16.409 I headed toward him and caught up with him. 00:01:16.409 --> 00:01:19.409 When the man saw me, he fled. 00:01:19.409 --> 00:01:25.409 I pursued him, saying, "Are you not ashamed? Will you not stand and fight?" 00:01:25.409 --> 00:01:29.409 He stopped for me, and we exchanged two sword strikes. 00:01:29.409 --> 00:01:31.409 I killed him. 00:01:31.409 --> 00:01:36.409 Then I returned to my uncle and said, "Allah has killed the man who shot you." 00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:40.439 He said, "Extract the arrow," so I extracted it. 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.439 Water flowed from the wound. 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:49.439 He said, "O son of my brother, convey my greetings to the Prophet, peace be upon him." 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.439 "And tell him to ask Allah to forgive me." 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.439 He then appointed me as his successor over the people. 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.439 He remained for a short while, then passed away. 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.540 I then returned to Medina. 00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.540 I entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, in his house. 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:09.539 I informed him of our news and the news of my uncle, Abu 'Amir. 00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:13.539 I said to him, "My uncle sends you his greetings." 00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:16.539 "And he asks you to seek forgiveness for him." 00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:21.599 The Prophet, peace be upon him, called for water and performed wudu. 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.599 Then he raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits. 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.599 And he said, "O Allah, forgive Abu 'Amir." 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.599 "O Allah, place him on the Day of Resurrection above many of Your creation." 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.599 I said, "O Messenger of Allah, and ask for forgiveness for me as well." 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.599 He prayed for me and said, "O Allah, forgive his sins." 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.909 "And grant him an honorable entrance on the Day of Resurrection." 00:02:52.909 --> 00:02:55.909 I spoke to the people one day and said to them: 00:02:55.909 --> 00:03:00.909 "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, on a military expedition." 00:03:00.909 --> 00:03:05.909 "We were six men sharing one camel, taking turns riding it." 00:03:05.909 --> 00:03:10.909 "Our feet became wounded, and our toenails fell off from the long walking." 00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:14.909 "We used to wrap rags around our feet." 00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:19.909 "That expedition was named the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' (the Battle of the Rags)." 00:03:19.909 --> 00:03:23.909 "Because of the rags we used to wrap around our feet." 00:03:23.909 --> 00:03:28.169 Then I regretted having mentioned this. 00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:34.490 Fearing it might be showing off, or that I had disclosed something of my deeds. 00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:40.520 So, who am I?
