00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.360
Stop.

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 --> 00:00:21.699
I am one of the female Companions who migrated.

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.699
I am of the Hashimite clan of the Quraysh.

00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:27.699
I married a Hashimite man of the Quraysh.

00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:32.700
He is Abu Talib, the uncle of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:37.700
I bore him Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, and his siblings.

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:41.799
I was the first Hashimite woman to give birth to a Hashimite child.

00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:46.060
And I was the first Hashimite woman to give birth to a caliph.

00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:50.060
I was a righteous, noble woman of high character.

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:53.060
I was among the patient, believing women.

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:59.060
I held a great place in the heart of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:04.950
When Abd al-Muttalib, the grandfather of the Prophet, peace be upon him, passed away,

00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:10.950
he entrusted my husband, Abu Talib, with the guardianship of Muhammad, peace be upon him.

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:14.950
So, Abu Talib brought him into our home with our children.

00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:19.950
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was raised in my house.

00:01:19.950 --> 00:01:23.950
I took care of him alongside my own children.

00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:27.950
I was to him like a mother and a guardian.

00:01:27.950 --> 00:01:31.950
I was the tender hand that embraced him along with my own children.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:35.950
I nurtured him for nearly two decades of his life.

00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:40.950
The Prophet, peace be upon him, considered me his mother.

00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:43.950
He would call me, "My mother."

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:46.950
I loved him as I loved my own sons.

00:01:46.950 --> 00:01:49.950
Indeed, I took pride in his virtuous character.

00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:53.049
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, chose

00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:56.049
my son Ali to live with him in his house,

00:01:56.049 --> 00:01:58.049
I was pleased by that.

00:01:58.049 --> 00:02:03.049
I advised my son to be influenced by the character of Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:06.049
and to follow in his footsteps.

00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:09.050
That was before the mission of the Prophet.

00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:12.819
I accepted Islam after the death of my husband, Abu Talib.

00:02:12.819 --> 00:02:15.819
Then I migrated to Medina.

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:19.819
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to visit me.

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:22.819
He would take a midday nap in my house.

00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:24.819
And upon my death,

00:02:24.819 --> 00:02:28.819
he, peace be upon him, shrouded me in his own shirt.

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:32.819
He descended into my grave and leveled it with his own hands.

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:35.229
So, who am I?
