00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Pause and identify the Companion, scholar, or prominent figure.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140
A new challenge: who am I?

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:23.480
I am one of the younger Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.480
My maternal uncle is the great archer Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.609
I was eager to meet the Prophet, peace be upon him, and learn from him.

00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:40.609
I sat with him more than a hundred times and narrated hadiths from him.

00:00:40.609 --> 00:00:44.609
I prayed more than two thousand prayers with him.

00:00:44.609 --> 00:00:48.609
His prayer was similar to the prayer of people today.

00:00:48.609 --> 00:00:52.609
However, he would lighten the recitation.

00:00:52.609 --> 00:00:57.609
In the dawn prayer, he would recite Surah al-Waqi'ah and similar chapters.

00:00:57.609 --> 00:01:04.379
I once saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, on a moonlit night.

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:07.379
He was wearing a red garment.

00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:10.379
I began looking at him and then at the moon.

00:01:10.379 --> 00:01:14.379
To me, he was more beautiful than the moon.

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:19.890
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would pass by us while we were young boys.

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:22.890
We would be playing in the alleys of Medina.

00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.890
He would stroke our cheeks.

00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:26.920
One day he passed by.

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.920
He stroked my cheek.

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.920
The cheek he stroked became more beautiful than the other.

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.109
So, who am I?
