1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:12,179 Pause and identify this Companion, scholar, and eminent figure. 2 00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:16,179 A new challenge: who am I? 3 00:00:16,179 --> 00:00:22,260 I am a Companion from the Aslam tribe. 4 00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:26,260 I was known for my horsemanship, archery, and bravery. 5 00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:29,260 I could even outrun horses on foot. 6 00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:35,289 I have well-known exploits during the life of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and after his passing. 7 00:00:35,289 --> 00:00:42,450 I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to the death under the tree three times. 8 00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:47,500 I participated in seven military expeditions with him. 9 00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:54,500 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called us to pledge allegiance at the base of the tree on the day of Hudaybiyyah. 10 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,500 I was the first of the people to pledge allegiance to him. 11 00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,500 Then others pledged and pledged. 12 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,500 Until he reached the middle of the people. 13 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,500 He said to me, "Pledge allegiance." 14 00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:10,500 I said, "I have already pledged to you, O Messenger of Allah, at the beginning of the people." 15 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,500 He said, "And again." 16 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:15,500 So I pledged to him a second time. 17 00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,500 Then others pledged and pledged. 18 00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,500 Until he reached the end of the people. 19 00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,500 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me, 20 00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,500 "Will you not pledge to me?" 21 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:32,500 I said, "I have already pledged to you, O Messenger of Allah, at the beginning of the people and in the middle." 22 00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,500 He said, "And again." 23 00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,500 So I pledged to him a third time. 24 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,819 I was once asked about that pledge: 25 00:01:39,819 --> 00:01:43,819 "Upon what were you pledging that day?" 26 00:01:43,819 --> 00:01:46,819 I replied, "Upon death." 27 00:01:46,819 --> 00:01:49,819 And Allah the Exalted revealed concerning us: 28 00:01:49,819 --> 00:01:52,950 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 29 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:59,950 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 30 00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:01,950 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 31 00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:08,949 "He sent down tranquility upon them," 32 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:13,949 "And rewarded them with an imminent conquest." 33 00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:18,060 On the day of Khaybar, 34 00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:21,060 I received a blow that broke my leg. 35 00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:25,060 I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 36 00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:28,060 And he blew upon it three times, 37 00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:30,060 And wiped over it. 38 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:32,060 I never felt pain in my leg 39 00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:35,259 After that hour. 40 00:02:35,259 --> 00:02:37,259 During the expedition of Hawazin, 41 00:02:37,259 --> 00:02:40,259 We stopped with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 42 00:02:40,259 --> 00:02:42,259 Along the way. 43 00:02:42,259 --> 00:02:45,259 A spy for the enemy came, 44 00:02:45,259 --> 00:02:47,259 He tethered his mount, 45 00:02:47,259 --> 00:02:50,259 Then approached to eat with the people, 46 00:02:50,259 --> 00:02:52,259 And began to observe. 47 00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:55,259 We had among us those who were weak and had few mounts. 48 00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:57,259 Then he left in a hurry, 49 00:02:57,259 --> 00:03:00,259 Took his mount, and fled. 50 00:03:00,259 --> 00:03:03,289 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, 51 00:03:03,289 --> 00:03:05,289 "Pursue him and kill him, 52 00:03:05,289 --> 00:03:08,289 For he is a spy for the enemy." 53 00:03:08,289 --> 00:03:11,289 I ran after him on foot, 54 00:03:11,289 --> 00:03:15,289 Until I grabbed the halter of his camel and made it kneel. 55 00:03:15,289 --> 00:03:18,289 When it placed its knee on the ground, 56 00:03:18,289 --> 00:03:21,289 I drew my sword and struck his head. 57 00:03:21,289 --> 00:03:25,319 I brought his mount and everything upon it, leading it back. 58 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:29,319 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, met me, 59 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,319 And granted me all of his spoils. 60 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,150 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would let me ride behind him 61 00:03:38,150 --> 00:03:39,150 Many times. 62 00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:42,150 He wiped my face many times, 63 00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:44,150 And prayed for my forgiveness many times, 64 00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:48,150 Equal to the number of fingers on my hand. 65 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:50,539 So, who am I? 66 00:04:04,889 --> 00:04:07,889 If Allah wills.
