WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.360 Pause. 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.140 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140 A new challenge: Who am I? 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:23.960 I am one of the senior Companions and among the nobles of the Ansar. 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.960 I am the leader of the Khazraj. 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.019 I was renowned for my courage and generosity. 00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:34.179 I was one of the twelve leaders at the Pledge of al-'Aqabah. 00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:39.179 I strove alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him, in all his military expeditions. 00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:43.250 I dedicated my wealth to the service of Islam and the Muslims. 00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:46.250 I was also known for my intense sense of honor. 00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:50.250 I never married a woman who was not a virgin. 00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:53.250 And I never divorced a woman. 00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.250 So that no one would dare to marry her after me. 00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:59.369 During the Battle of Hunayn. 00:00:59.369 --> 00:01:03.369 When the Muslims finished the battle victorious. 00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:06.370 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, began. 00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:09.370 Distributing the spoils among the Muslims. 00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:12.370 He began giving to those whose hearts were to be reconciled. 00:01:12.370 --> 00:01:14.370 They were those nobles. 00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:18.370 Who had recently entered Islam from among the people of Makkah. 00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:22.370 He also gave to the poor among the Muhajirun. 00:01:22.370 --> 00:01:24.370 But he did not give my people, the Ansar. 00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:27.370 Anything from the spoils of this battle. 00:01:27.370 --> 00:01:31.430 I heard my people whispering about this matter. 00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:35.430 They were troubled by the Messenger of Allah’s neglect of them. 00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:38.430 So I went to the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:41.430 And I said, "O Messenger of Allah." 00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.430 "This group of the Ansar." 00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:46.430 "Have felt hurt in their hearts regarding you." 00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:50.430 "Because of what you did with this booty that you acquired." 00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.560 "You distributed it among your own people." 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.560 "And you gave great gifts to the tribes of the Arabs." 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.560 "Yet this group of the Ansar received nothing of it." 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.750 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me. 00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:06.750 "And where do you stand on this?" 00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:09.750 I lowered my head and said. 00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:13.750 "I am but one of my people, O Messenger of Allah." 00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:16.939 He, peace be upon him, said. 00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:19.939 "Then gather your people for me." 00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:22.939 "And let no one else enter with them." 00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:24.979 So I gathered my people, the Ansar. 00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:28.979 And I informed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:32.979 He came to us, peace be upon him. 00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:34.979 While he was smiling. 00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:37.979 He said, "O assembly of the Ansar." 00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:40.979 "What is this statement that has reached me regarding you?" 00:02:40.979 --> 00:02:44.979 "And this hurt you have felt in your hearts toward me?" 00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:49.099 "Did I not come to you while you were astray, and Allah guided you?" 00:02:49.099 --> 00:02:52.099 "And in need, and Allah enriched you?" 00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:56.099 "And enemies, and Allah brought your hearts together?" 00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:58.099 We said. 00:02:58.099 --> 00:02:59.099 "Indeed." 00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:03.099 "Allah and His Messenger are more gracious and more generous." 00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:06.360 The Messenger, peace be upon him, said. 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.360 "Will you not answer me, O assembly of the Ansar?" 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.360 We said. 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.360 "How shall we answer you, O Messenger of Allah?" 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.360 "To Allah and His Messenger belong all grace and generosity." 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.460 The Messenger, peace be upon him, said. 00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:25.460 "By Allah, if you wished, you could have said." 00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:28.460 "And you would have spoken the truth and been believed." 00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:31.460 "You came to us belied, and we believed you." 00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:34.460 "Forsaken, and we aided you." 00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.460 "Destitute, and we comforted you." 00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:40.460 "And driven out, and we sheltered you." 00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:43.840 "Do you feel hurt, O assembly of the Ansar, in your hearts." 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.840 "Over a small portion of this world." 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.840 "With which I sought to reconcile a people so they might embrace Islam." 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.840 "While I entrusted you to your Islam?" 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.969 "Are you not satisfied, O assembly of the Ansar." 00:03:55.969 --> 00:03:58.969 "That the people go away with sheep and camels." 00:03:58.969 --> 00:04:03.969 "While you return with the Messenger of Allah to your dwellings?" 00:04:03.969 --> 00:04:06.060 "By Him in whose hand is my soul." 00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:08.060 "Were it not for the migration." 00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:11.060 "I would have been one of the Ansar." 00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:13.099 "And if the people took a mountain pass." 00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:16.100 "I would take the pass of the Ansar." 00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:19.290 "O Allah, have mercy on the Ansar." 00:04:19.290 --> 00:04:21.290 "And the children of the Ansar." 00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:24.290 "And the children of the children of the Ansar." 00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:27.480 We wept until our beards were soaked. 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.480 And we all said. 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.480 "We are satisfied with the Messenger of Allah as our portion and share." 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.480 "We are satisfied with the Messenger of Allah as our portion and share." 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.670 Thus, Allah preserved the strength of the Muslims. 00:04:41.670 --> 00:04:43.670 Our souls were at peace. 00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:49.670 And we knew our standing with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:51.959 So, who am I? 00:04:51.959 --> 00:05:00.120 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 00:05:00.120 -->
