1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Pause and identify this Companion, scholar, and prominent figure. 2 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 A new challenge: Who am I? 3 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:22,000 I am a Companion from the youth of the Ansar. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,190 I embraced Islam when Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, may Allah be pleased with him, arrived in Medina. 5 00:00:28,190 --> 00:00:33,189 I was frequently in the company of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in Medina. 6 00:00:33,189 --> 00:00:36,189 Ever since his migration there. 7 00:00:36,189 --> 00:00:41,189 As for my father, he was known during the Age of Ignorance as "the Monk." 8 00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:45,189 He used to speak of the Resurrection and the religion of the Hanifiyyah. 9 00:00:45,189 --> 00:00:49,219 But when the Prophet, peace be upon him, was sent, 10 00:00:49,219 --> 00:00:54,219 envy overcame him, and he did not respond to his call. 11 00:00:54,219 --> 00:00:58,219 Instead, he showed him hostility and left Medina. 12 00:00:58,219 --> 00:01:02,219 He even fought against the Muslims at the Battle of Uhud alongside the Quraysh. 13 00:01:02,219 --> 00:01:08,219 So the Prophet, peace be upon him, renamed him "the Corrupt" instead of "the Monk." 14 00:01:08,219 --> 00:01:15,150 In the third year after the Hijrah, I married a noble female Companion. 15 00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:21,150 Her name was Jamilah bint 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, may Allah be pleased with her. 16 00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:27,310 I consummated the marriage with her on the night preceding the Battle of Uhud. 17 00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:32,310 I had asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, for permission to spend the night with her, 18 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:34,310 and he granted it to me. 19 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:36,310 When I prayed the dawn prayer, 20 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:41,310 I set out, intending to join the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 21 00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:44,310 But my wife, Jamilah, held me back, 22 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:46,310 so I returned and stayed with her. 23 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:48,310 I had marital relations with her. 24 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:51,310 When I heard the caller for Jihad, 25 00:01:51,310 --> 00:01:53,310 I wanted to leave, 26 00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:56,310 but she sent for four of her people 27 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:59,310 to bear witness that I had consummated the marriage with her. 28 00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:04,310 Then I left and joined the ranks of the Muslim army. 29 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:06,310 When the fighting began 30 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:08,310 and the two sides clashed, 31 00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:12,310 I encountered Abu Sufyan ibn Harb during the battle. 32 00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:14,310 We exchanged blows with our swords, 33 00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:18,310 and I struck him a blow that brought him down. 34 00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:21,310 As I stood over him with my sword to kill him, 35 00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:24,310 Shaddad ibn al-Aswad saw me, 36 00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:28,310 threw his spear at my back, and killed me. 37 00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:31,629 After the battle ended, 38 00:02:31,629 --> 00:02:34,629 the Prophet, peace be upon him, saw me 39 00:02:34,629 --> 00:02:38,629 while the angels were washing me between the heavens and the earth 40 00:02:38,629 --> 00:02:42,629 with rainwater in silver basins. 41 00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:45,659 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, 42 00:02:45,659 --> 00:02:48,659 "Ask his wife about that." 43 00:02:48,659 --> 00:02:50,659 So they asked her, 44 00:02:50,659 --> 00:02:54,659 and she said, "When he heard the caller for Jihad, 45 00:02:54,659 --> 00:02:57,860 he left me while he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." 46 00:02:57,860 --> 00:02:59,860 She was then asked 47 00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:01,860 why she had called witnesses to our intimacy. 48 00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:03,860 She replied, 49 00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:06,860 "I saw as if the sky had opened up, 50 00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:10,860 my husband entered it, and then it closed." 51 00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:13,860 "I said, 'This is martyrdom,' 52 00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,860 so I bore witness that he had consummated the marriage with me 53 00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:19,919 so that I would not be accused." 54 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,919 They mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 55 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,919 and he said, 56 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,110 "That is he whom the angels have washed." 57 00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:33,110 They later found me among the slain, with my head dripping with water, 58 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:36,110 even though there was no water nearby. 59 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:39,110 Thus, I became known as "the one washed by the angels." 60 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:43,039 The tribes of the Ansar boasted, 61 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,039 the Aws and the Khazraj. 62 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,039 The Aws said, 63 00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,039 "Among us is the one washed by the angels," 64 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,039 referring to me. 65 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:55,039 "And among us is he for whom the Throne of the Most Merciful shook," 66 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,039 Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. 67 00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:59,039 "And among us is he whom the bees protected," 68 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,039 'Asim ibn Thabit. 69 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,039 "And among us is he whose testimony was accepted 70 00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:06,039 as equal to the testimony of two men," 71 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,039 Khuzaymah ibn Thabit. 72 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:10,039 The Khazrajis said, 73 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:13,039 "Among us are four who memorized the Qur'an 74 00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:17,040 during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,040 and no one else collected it as they did: 76 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,100 Zayd ibn Thabit, 77 00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:23,100 Abu Zayd, 78 00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,100 Ubayy ibn Ka'b, 79 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,100 and Mu'adh ibn Jabal," 80 00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:30,490 may Allah be pleased with them all. 81 00:04:30,490 --> 00:04:36,389 So, who am I? 82 00:04:36,389 --> 00:04:40,620 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 83 00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:44,620
