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

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Learn about 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 --> 00:00:21.030
I am one of the Muhajirun (Emigrant) Companions.

00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:25.030
I was a leader among the prominent masters of Makkah.

00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:29.030
I am the paternal uncle of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:31.030
And his foster brother.

00:00:31.030 --> 00:00:34.030
I was among those closest to him.

00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:37.219
I was known for my courage and generosity.

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:40.219
I was one of the most formidable youths of Quraysh.

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:42.219
And the most resolute among them.

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:46.219
I would fight wielding two swords.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:50.219
To the point that people marveled at my courage and strength.

00:00:50.219 --> 00:00:53.219
The Muslims bestowed upon me the title:

00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:57.090
The Lion of Allah and His Messenger.

00:00:57.090 --> 00:01:00.090
I participated with the Muslims in the Battle of Badr.

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:04.090
I killed a number of the polytheists and their leaders.

00:01:04.090 --> 00:01:06.090
Among them was Tu'aymah Ibn 'Adi.

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:09.180
When the Battle of Uhud arrived,

00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:12.180
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:14.180
In defense of the religion.

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:16.180
Jubayr Ibn Mut'im

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:19.180
Had summoned a slave of his from Abyssinia,

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:21.180
Known as Wahshi.

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:24.180
He was skilled at throwing the spear, as the Abyssinians are.

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.180
He rarely missed his target.

00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:28.180
He said to him,

00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:30.180
"Go out with the people,"

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.180
And incited him to kill me.

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:35.180
To avenge the death of his uncle, Tu'aymah.

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:38.180
He promised to set him free if he succeeded.

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:42.180
Whenever Wahshi passed by Hind Bint 'Utbah,

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.180
Or she passed by him,

00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:45.180
She would say,

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.180
"Come, O Abu Dasmah,

00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:49.180
Heal your heart and heal mine,"

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:53.109
Meaning she was inciting him to kill me.

00:01:53.109 --> 00:01:56.109
When the armies met and the fighting began,

00:01:56.109 --> 00:01:59.109
I surged among them like a lion.

00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:02.109
I fought with the valor of heroes.

00:02:02.109 --> 00:02:05.109
I fought that day with two swords.

00:02:05.109 --> 00:02:08.110
I killed a group of the polytheists.

00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:12.110
Wahshi was waiting for me and lying in wait.

00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:16.110
He saw me moving through the people like a grey camel,

00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:19.110
Cutting through the ranks with my sword,

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:21.110
With nothing able to stand against me.

00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:24.110
He hid behind a rock.

00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:26.139
While I was in that state,

00:02:26.139 --> 00:02:30.139
Siba' Ibn 'Abd al-'Uzza advanced toward me.

00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.139
When I saw him, I said to him,

00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:37.139
"Come here, you son of the one who circumcises women!"

00:02:37.139 --> 00:02:41.210
I struck him a blow that did not miss his head.

00:02:41.210 --> 00:02:44.210
As I turned away from him, I stumbled.

00:02:44.210 --> 00:02:47.210
My armor shifted, exposing my abdomen.

00:02:47.210 --> 00:02:49.210
Wahshi caught sight of me.

00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:51.210
He threw his spear at me.

00:02:51.210 --> 00:02:54.210
The spear struck my lower abdomen,

00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:57.210
And passed through between my legs.

00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:59.300
I fell.

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:02.300
I tried to rise toward the one who had thrown it at me.

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:07.300
When Wahshi saw me rising toward him despite my injury,

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:10.300
He said, "I saw death."

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.300
But I was overcome,

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.300
And I fell before I could reach him.

00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:17.460
My soul departed.

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:21.460
Then the polytheists came and mutilated my body.

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.460
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was deeply affected

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.460
When he saw me.

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:28.460
He wept and said,

00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:31.689
"This is the Master of Martyrs."

00:03:31.689 --> 00:03:38.979
Then I was buried with my sister's son, 'Abdullah Ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him, in one grave.

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:44.909
So, who am I?
