00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:12.179
Pause and reflect on the lives of the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures of our history.

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179
Here is a new challenge: who am I?

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:26.539
I am one of the female Companions, among the first of the Muhajirun (emigrants), and among the earliest to embrace Islam.

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:33.640
My sister is one of the Mothers of the Believers, and my husband is one of the ten promised Paradise.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.640
My father, my grandfather, my son, and I—we are all Companions.

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:47.670
I became known as 'Dhat al-Nitaqayn' (She of the Two Belts) because I took my belt—the sash I used to tie around my waist—

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:51.670
and tore it into two halves; I kept one for myself,

00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:57.670
and with the second, I tied the provisions for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:02.310
when he was in the cave during his migration.

00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:08.310
When my father set out to migrate to Medina with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:13.310
he took all his wealth and left us nothing.

00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:19.340
My grandfather came to me—he had lost his sight and was still a polytheist at the time—

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:28.340
and said, "By Allah, I see that your father has distressed you by taking his wealth, just as he has distressed you by leaving you behind."

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:34.340
I replied, "No, he has left us much good."

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:41.340
I gathered some stones and placed a cloth over them, making it look like a pouch of money.

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:47.340
Then I took my grandfather’s hand and said, "Place your hand on this wealth."

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:51.340
He placed his hand upon it and said, "There is no harm in this."

00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:56.340
"If he has left you this, then he has done well."

00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.340
In this, there was a message of reassurance for you.

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:04.819
Then Abu Jahl came with a group of men, and I went out to meet them.

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:10.819
They asked, "Where is your father?" I replied, "I do not know where he is."

00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:17.819
Abu Jahl raised his hand and struck my cheek so hard that my earring fell off.

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.430
Then they left.

00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:26.430
I was a woman of generous spirit, spending abundantly in the paths of charity.

00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:29.430
I never held back anything for the next day.

00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:36.430
I lived a long life, reaching one hundred years of age, without losing a single tooth.

00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:41.430
I was the last of the Muhajirun, both men and women, to pass away.

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:43.430
So, who am I?

00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:51.530
