1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,360 Stop. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 Solve this riddle: Who am I? 4 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:22,539 I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 5 00:00:22,539 --> 00:00:25,539 I am the leader of the Thaqif tribe. 6 00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:27,539 I am one of the notables of the Arabs. 7 00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:31,539 I attained leadership and nobility from a young age. 8 00:00:31,539 --> 00:00:35,670 I am the one intended by the polytheists when they said: 9 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:41,670 “And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns?” (43:31) 10 00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:44,740 They were referring to me from Ta'if. 11 00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:48,740 And al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah from Makkah. 12 00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:55,729 The Quraysh sent me to negotiate with the Prophet, peace be upon him, at al-Hudaybiyah. 13 00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:58,759 I came to him and spoke with him. 14 00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,759 I observed the state of his Companions around him. 15 00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:05,819 I returned to the people of Makkah and said to them: 16 00:01:05,819 --> 00:01:09,819 "I have seen something astonishing from the Companions of Muhammad." 17 00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:13,819 "By Allah, he does not spit out any phlegm," 18 00:01:13,819 --> 00:01:16,819 "but that it falls into the palm of one of them," 19 00:01:16,819 --> 00:01:19,819 "who then rubs it onto his face and skin." 20 00:01:19,819 --> 00:01:22,819 "If he commands them, they hasten to fulfill his command." 21 00:01:22,819 --> 00:01:24,819 "And if he performs ablution," 22 00:01:24,819 --> 00:01:27,819 "they almost fight over the remains of his water." 23 00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:29,819 "And if he speaks," 24 00:01:29,819 --> 00:01:32,819 "they lower their voices in his presence." 25 00:01:32,819 --> 00:01:36,920 "And they do not stare at him out of reverence for him." 26 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,269 "O people," 27 00:01:39,269 --> 00:01:42,269 "by Allah, I have visited kings." 28 00:01:42,269 --> 00:01:46,269 "I have visited Caesar, Chosroes, and the Negus." 29 00:01:46,269 --> 00:01:50,269 "By Allah, I have never seen a king whose companions revere him," 30 00:01:50,269 --> 00:01:54,269 "as the Companions of Muhammad revere Muhammad." 31 00:01:54,269 --> 00:01:58,299 "He has offered you a path of guidance," 32 00:01:58,299 --> 00:02:01,299 "so accept it." 33 00:02:01,299 --> 00:02:06,299 I was with my people in Ta'if when the Prophet, peace be upon him, besieged it. 34 00:02:06,299 --> 00:02:09,580 After the Battle of Hunayn. 35 00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:13,580 When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, departed, 36 00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:15,580 I followed in his tracks. 37 00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:18,580 I caught up with him before he reached Madinah. 38 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:20,580 I embraced Islam. 39 00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:22,580 I asked him if I could return to my people, 40 00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:25,650 to call them to Islam. 41 00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:29,650 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me: 42 00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,650 "They will kill you." 43 00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:33,900 I said: 44 00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:34,900 "O Messenger of Allah," 45 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,900 "I am beloved and obeyed among them," 46 00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,900 "and I am dearer to them than their own eyes." 47 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:46,900 "Even if they found me sleeping, they would not wake me." 48 00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,900 So he gave me permission. 49 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:53,060 I went out to them, calling them to Islam. 50 00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:55,060 When I reached Ta'if, 51 00:02:55,060 --> 00:02:57,060 I stood upon a high place, 52 00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:00,060 and I called them to Islam. 53 00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,060 I openly declared my religion to them. 54 00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:06,099 They shot arrows at me from every direction. 55 00:03:06,099 --> 00:03:09,099 An arrow struck me in a vital spot. 56 00:03:09,099 --> 00:03:12,219 My family carried me to the house, 57 00:03:12,219 --> 00:03:14,219 and they said to me: 58 00:03:14,219 --> 00:03:16,379 "What do you think of your blood?" 59 00:03:16,379 --> 00:03:17,379 I said: 60 00:03:17,379 --> 00:03:20,379 "It is an honor with which Allah has graced me," 61 00:03:20,379 --> 00:03:24,419 "and martyrdom that Allah has brought to me." 62 00:03:24,419 --> 00:03:30,419 "There is nothing in me but what is in the martyrs who were killed in the cause of Allah," 63 00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:33,419 "with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 64 00:03:33,419 --> 00:03:36,419 "Before he departs from you," 65 00:03:36,419 --> 00:03:40,379 "bury me with them." 66 00:03:40,379 --> 00:03:43,379 They used to say that my status among my people 67 00:03:43,379 --> 00:03:46,379 was like the status of the man from Ya-Sin among his people, 68 00:03:46,379 --> 00:03:49,599 who called them to Allah and they killed him. 69 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:53,599 The Prophet, peace be upon him, mentioned 70 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,599 that he saw 'Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, 71 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:02,240 and I am the person who resembles him most. 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:08,210 So, who am I? 73 00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:12,430 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 74 00:04:12,430 --> 00:04:16,430 We will
