00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.500 They have gathered to wage war against you!" 00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:33.530 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:35.530 "This is the demon of the mountain pass." 00:02:35.530 --> 00:02:37.530 Meaning: "O enemy of Allah! 00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:40.530 By Allah, I will surely deal with you." 00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:44.659 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to us: 00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:47.659 "Return to your camps." 00:02:47.659 --> 00:02:50.659 I said, "O Messenger of Allah, 00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:52.659 By the One who sent you with the truth, 00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:58.659 If you wish, we will fall upon the people of Mina tomorrow with our swords." 00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:02.659 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.659 "We have not been commanded to do that. 00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:09.520 Rather, return to your camps." 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.520 After we returned to Madinah, 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.520 My soul was not at rest, 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.520 So I went out to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.520 While he was in Makkah, 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.520 And I stayed with him until he migrated to Madinah. 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.520 Then I migrated there as well. 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.520 So I was both an Ansari and a Muhajiri. 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.710 I participated in the Battle of Uhud. 00:03:30.710 --> 00:03:32.710 And when the Muslims were defeated, 00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:35.710 I stood firm on the battlefield. 00:03:35.710 --> 00:03:39.710 I encountered Sufyan Ibn 'Abd Shams, 00:03:39.710 --> 00:03:41.710 And we exchanged blows with our swords. 00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:44.710 Then Safwan Ibn Umayyah caught up with us, 00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:46.710 And he struck me with his sword. 00:03:46.710 --> 00:03:48.710 Then Sufyan returned to me, 00:03:48.710 --> 00:03:50.710 And he also struck me, 00:03:50.710 --> 00:03:53.710 Until my wounds rendered me unable to move. 00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:57.000 And in that state, I met my death. 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:03.000 So, who am I?
