1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,360
Stop.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,179
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

3
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:16,179
A new challenge: Who am I?

4
00:00:16,179 --> 00:00:23,859
I am one of the younger Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

5
00:00:23,859 --> 00:00:27,859
I was born in Makkah two years before the Hijrah.

6
00:00:27,859 --> 00:00:29,859
I grew up in Islam.

7
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:33,859
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, passed away,

8
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:35,859
I was twelve years old.

9
00:00:35,859 --> 00:00:40,899
I witnessed the Battle of Tabuk with the Prophet, peace be upon him.

10
00:00:40,899 --> 00:00:45,960
I am one of the greatest commanders of the conquests in the early days of Islam.

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,960
I was among those who participated in the conquests of the Levant.

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,960
I am the conqueror of Armenia.

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,990
I exhausted the Byzantines with my frequent battles against them and my victories over them,

14
00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:03,920
to the point that I became known as the "Beloved of the Byzantines."

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,920
I was one of the nobles of the Quraysh and one of their bravest men,

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,920
one of their leaders and a standard-bearer of their glory.

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,920
I am considered to be of the same rank as Khalid Ibn al-Walid and Abu 'Ubaydah, may Allah be pleased with them both,

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,920
in courage, boldness, and a lasting legacy in battle.

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,920
This is because I grew up from my earliest youth in warfare,

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,920
and from a young age, I became accustomed to thrusting and striking.

21
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Thus, I spent most of my life in wars.

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,920
I had a role in establishing the pillars of Islam in distant lands and remote kingdoms,

23
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
through a long struggle, especially in the lands of the Byzantines.

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,750
Despite that, I was kind to the soldiers and ascetic regarding worldly life.

25
00:01:52,750 --> 00:01:57,750
The people of the Levant used to praise me highly,

26
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:00,750
and they believed me to be of the utmost righteousness.

27
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:05,939
They used to say that my supplications were answered.

28
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:11,939
Whenever I encountered an enemy or besieged a fortress, I liked to say:

29
00:02:11,939 --> 00:02:17,099
"There is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Almighty."

30
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:20,099
One day, I besieged a fortress,

31
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:26,099
and I raised my voice with "There is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Almighty."

32
00:02:26,099 --> 00:02:30,099
The Muslims raised their voices with me,

33
00:02:30,099 --> 00:02:36,099
the fortress cracked, the Byzantines were defeated, and Allah granted us victory.

34
00:02:36,099 --> 00:02:38,360
So, who am I?

35
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:46,419
