WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140 Stop and learn about the companions, scholars and notables 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140 A new challenge from me 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:26.699 I am one of the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, from the Persians from the land of Asbhan 00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:32.700 She lived with Magianism, Christianity, and Judaism before Islam 00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:39.700 When I converted to Islam, I became a son of Islam and preceded the Persians to enter into it 00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:42.700 I was known as a seeker of truth 00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:50.820 I lived in a luxurious environment that believed in Zoroastrianism and worshiped fire 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:55.820 My father was the village chief and he loved me very much 00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:59.820 So I was the servant of their god, which is fire 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.820 I stand up for it and do not let it fade for a moment 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.819 My father did not spare me anything 00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:13.180 One day, my father sent me to our orchard for some needs 00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:17.209 So I passed a monk worshiping in his cell 00:01:17.209 --> 00:01:19.209 I liked his worship 00:01:19.209 --> 00:01:22.209 So I sat with him and listened to what he was saying 00:01:22.209 --> 00:01:28.209 Until I was late for my father's visit and did not relieve him in the garden 00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:30.209 He was very afraid for me 00:01:30.209 --> 00:01:35.209 When I came to him, I told him why I was late 00:01:35.209 --> 00:01:40.209 I told him that the monk’s religion is better than our religion 00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:45.239 He got angry with me and locked me in the house and tied me up 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.239 So I was able to untie myself 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.239 I went out with a convoy of Christians to their homes 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.239 So I got to know the senior priest among them 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.239 So I obliged him 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:03.239 When he died, he was sent to another priest in another country 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.239 I went to him 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:11.240 Thus, whenever a monk died, it moved to another monk 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.240 Until the last of them told me, “My son.” 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.240 There is no good man left among the Christians to whom I would recommend you 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:26.240 But the time of a prophet appearing in the land of the Arabs has overshadowed you 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.240 His description is such and such 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.240 If you can catch up with him, do so 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:38.270 So I waited until some Arabs from Bani Kalb passed by us 00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:43.270 So I offered to take me with them to their homes 00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:47.270 In exchange for giving them everything I have 00:02:47.270 --> 00:02:50.270 They agreed and I traveled with them 00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:53.270 On the way, they betrayed me 00:02:53.270 --> 00:02:55.270 So they took all my money 00:02:55.270 --> 00:02:59.270 They sold me to a Jew from Wadi Al-Qura 00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:04.270 Then another Jew bought me from Yathrib from Banu Qurayza 00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:08.719 He took me to his people in Medina 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.719 When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, migrated to Medina 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.719 I heard about it and ran to it 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.719 I started checking the signs that my friend mentioned to me 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.719 When I realized that he was the Prophet I was looking for 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.719 If I hug him, I kiss him and cry 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.719 I surrendered in his hands 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.719 I told him my story in all its details 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:40.520 He, may God bless him and grant him peace, was impressed by her 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.870 I did not witness Badr or anyone with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, because of slavery 00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:52.870 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered me to write to my master 00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:54.870 So I wrote it 00:03:54.870 --> 00:04:01.000 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions helped me to perform the letter 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.000 Then I witnessed the Battle of the Trench with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.000 As the first thing I witnessed in Islam 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.030 I was the one who told them to dig a trench around the city 00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:17.100 To protect her from enemies 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:20.100 When the parties came and saw the ditch 00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:25.100 They said this is a trick that the Arabs have not known 00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:29.100 God turned their plot against them 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:34.959 One day I was next to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.990 He hit his hand on my thigh and said 00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:41.990 By the One in whose hand is my soul 00:04:41.990 --> 00:04:44.990 If faith was at the Pleiades 00:04:44.990 --> 00:04:48.990 For eating such men 00:04:48.990 --> 00:04:51.730 Who am I?
