WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140 Pause and identify this Companion, scholar, and eminent figure. 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140 A new challenge: Who am I? 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:24.030 I am one of the senior Companions and one of the ten promised Paradise. 00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:27.030 I embraced Islam at the hands of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:34.030 I performed both migrations and witnessed all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:39.030 I sustained twenty wounds on the day of Uhud, some of which were in my leg. 00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:42.030 I became lame as a result. 00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:48.030 The Prophet, peace be upon him, sent me at the head of a military expedition to Dumat al-Jandal. 00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:55.030 He instructed me that if Allah granted us victory, I should marry the daughter of their king, which I did. 00:00:55.030 --> 00:01:02.030 During the Battle of Tabuk, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was delayed one day while relieving himself. 00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:05.030 We feared that the time for the dawn prayer would pass. 00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:10.030 We established the prayer, and the Companions asked me to lead them in prayer. 00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:15.030 The Prophet, peace be upon him, arrived while we were praying. 00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:20.030 He prayed behind me as a follower and caught the second rak'ah with us. 00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:25.030 Then, after we finished the prayer, he stood up and completed what he had missed. 00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:29.030 After the prayer, he said to us, "You have done well." 00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:37.959 When the Prophet, peace be upon him, arrived in Medina, he established a bond of brotherhood between the Muhajirun and the Ansar. 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.959 He established a bond of brotherhood between me and Sa'd ibn al-Rabi', may Allah be pleased with him. 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.959 Sa'd said to me, "I am the wealthiest of the Ansar." 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.959 "I will divide my wealth between myself and you into two halves." 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.959 "I also have two wives; look at whichever one pleases you, and I will divorce her for you." 00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:03.989 I said to him, "May Allah bless you in your family and your wealth; just show me the market of Medina." 00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:09.990 I went to the market, traded, and made a profit in dried yogurt and ghee. 00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:16.990 I gathered some wealth, and then I married a woman from the Ansar. 00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:21.990 I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, with traces of yellow scent on me. 00:02:21.990 --> 00:02:29.990 He asked me, "What is this?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman from the Ansar." 00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:35.990 He asked, "What did you give her as a dowry?" I said, "The weight of a date stone in gold." 00:02:35.990 --> 00:02:41.990 He said, "May Allah bless you; hold a wedding feast, even if with a single sheep." 00:02:41.990 --> 00:02:50.090 After that, I became such that if I lifted a stone, I hoped to find gold or silver beneath it. 00:02:50.090 --> 00:02:58.090 Through the blessing of his supplication, peace be upon him, I became one of the wealthy Muslims. 00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:06.080 I was chaste, generous, a frequent spender in the cause of Allah, humble, and ascetic. 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:11.080 I would walk among my servants and not be distinguished from them. 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:18.080 One day, the Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, heard a sound that shook Medina. 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.080 She asked, "What is this?" They replied, "A caravan that has arrived from the Levant." 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.080 Seven hundred camels loaded with food and all kinds of goods. 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.080 She asked, "Whose is it?" They informed her that it was mine. 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.080 She said to them, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say:" 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.080 "That he saw him entering Paradise crawling." 00:03:46.210 --> 00:03:53.210 When this reached me, I went to her and asked her, and she told me what she had heard. 00:03:53.210 --> 00:04:02.210 I said to her, "I call you to witness that this caravan, with all its cargo, is charity in the cause of Allah the Almighty." 00:04:02.210 --> 00:04:09.590 One day, I was fasting, and they brought me food for breaking the fast that was delicious and pleasant. 00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:14.590 I said, "Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr was killed, and he was better than me." 00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:22.689 "He was shrouded in a cloak; if his head was covered, his feet were exposed." 00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:26.689 "Hamzah was killed, and he was better than me." 00:04:26.689 --> 00:04:30.779 "Nothing could be found to shroud him in except a cloak." 00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:34.779 "Then we were given of the world what we were given." 00:04:34.779 --> 00:04:38.779 "I fear that our good deeds have been hastened for us in this life." 00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:42.779 Then I began to weep until I left the food. 00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:50.839 I was dutiful to the Mothers of the Believers after the passing of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.839 I would look after them with wealth and care. 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.839 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had said to his wives: 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.839 "None will show you kindness after me except the truthful and the patient." 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:07.839 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, used to pray for me, saying: 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.939 "May Allah give you to drink from the Salsabil of Paradise." 00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:17.939 When death approached me, I bequeathed to every man remaining from the people of Badr: 00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:21.939 Four hundred dinars, and there were one hundred of them. 00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:28.000 And I bequeathed to every woman among the Mothers of the Believers a large sum of wealth. 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.100 So, who am I? 00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:38.319 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.319 We will pin the correct answer in the comments. 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.319 Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.
