1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:12,179
Pause and reflect on the lives of the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures of our history.

2
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:16,179
A new challenge: Who am I?

3
00:00:16,179 --> 00:00:22,609
I am a Companion from the Juhaynah tribe.

4
00:00:22,609 --> 00:00:25,739
I was an ally of the Ansar.

5
00:00:25,739 --> 00:00:27,800
I embraced Islam early on.

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,800
I witnessed the Second Pledge of al-Aqabah.

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:37,090
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to send me on special missions.

8
00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:39,090
And I would carry them out.

9
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:41,090
I am the heroic revolutionary.

10
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:45,820
And the man of difficult tasks.

11
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:49,820
I participated in the expedition of Abdullah Ibn Unays, may Allah be pleased with him.

12
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:52,820
To kill Ibn Abi al-Huqayq in Khaybar.

13
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:57,850
And I single-handedly killed the most dangerous man to the Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula.

14
00:00:57,850 --> 00:01:04,069
For the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called me one day and said:

15
00:01:04,069 --> 00:01:11,170
"It has reached me that Khalid Ibn Sufyan al-Hudhali is gathering people to attack me."

16
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:15,170
"He is at Nakhlah, near Medina."

17
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:17,170
"So go to him and kill him."

18
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:20,260
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,"

19
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:23,260
"Describe him to me so that I may recognize him."

20
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:24,459
He said,

21
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:27,459
"The sign between you and him,"

22
00:01:27,459 --> 00:01:32,459
"Is that when you see him, you will feel a shudder in your body."

23
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:33,579
I said,

24
00:01:33,579 --> 00:01:35,579
"O Messenger of Allah,"

25
00:01:35,579 --> 00:01:38,579
"I do not fear anyone."

26
00:01:38,579 --> 00:01:39,620
He replied,

27
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:40,620
"Indeed,"

28
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:44,620
"You will feel a shudder when you meet him."

29
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:46,620
"And you will be reminded of the Shaytan."

30
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:49,739
So I set out toward Khalid al-Hudhali,

31
00:01:49,739 --> 00:01:51,739
With my sword girded,

32
00:01:51,739 --> 00:01:54,739
Until I reached him at the time of Asr.

33
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:56,840
When I saw him,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,840
I felt the very shudder the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had described to me.

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,840
I said,

36
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,840
"The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth."

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,000
I approached him,

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
And I feared that if a fight broke out between us,

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
It would distract me from the prayer.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
So I prayed while walking toward him,

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Signaling with my head.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,060
When I reached him,

43
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:24,060
He said,

44
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:26,060
"Who is this man?"

45
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:27,060
I said,

46
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,060
"A man from the Arabs,"

47
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:33,060
"Who heard about you and your gathering against this man in Yathrib,"

48
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:36,060
"And I have come to join you."

49
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,289
He said,

50
00:02:37,289 --> 00:02:40,289
"Yes, that is what we are doing."

51
00:02:40,289 --> 00:02:42,289
So I walked with him,

52
00:02:42,289 --> 00:02:44,289
Until I had the opportunity,

53
00:02:44,289 --> 00:02:48,289
I struck him with my sword and killed him.

54
00:02:48,289 --> 00:02:52,289
I left his women weeping over him,

55
00:02:52,289 --> 00:02:55,419
And I hurried back to Medina.

56
00:02:55,419 --> 00:02:58,509
When his companions saw that he had been killed,

57
00:02:58,509 --> 00:03:00,509
They scattered in his wake.

58
00:03:00,509 --> 00:03:06,310
When I arrived before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

59
00:03:06,310 --> 00:03:07,310
He said,

60
00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:09,310
"The face has succeeded."

61
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:10,340
I said,

62
00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:13,340
"I have killed him, O Messenger of Allah."

63
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:14,379
He said,

64
00:03:14,379 --> 00:03:15,379
"You have spoken the truth."

65
00:03:15,379 --> 00:03:18,379
Then he stood up with me and entered his house,

66
00:03:18,379 --> 00:03:20,379
And gave me a staff.

67
00:03:20,379 --> 00:03:22,379
He said,

68
00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:24,379
"Keep this with you."

69
00:03:24,379 --> 00:03:26,539
I went out to the people with it,

70
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:28,539
And they asked,

71
00:03:28,539 --> 00:03:30,539
"What is this staff?"

72
00:03:30,539 --> 00:03:31,539
I said,

73
00:03:31,539 --> 00:03:35,539
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave it to me,"

74
00:03:35,539 --> 00:03:39,539
"And commanded me to keep it with me."

75
00:03:39,539 --> 00:03:40,759
They said,

76
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,759
"Will you not go back and ask him why?"

77
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:45,759
So I returned and asked him,

78
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:46,759
And I said,

79
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,759
"Why did you give me this staff, O Messenger of Allah?"

80
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:51,759
He said,

81
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:52,889
"It is,"

82
00:03:52,889 --> 00:03:55,889
"A sign between me and you,"

83
00:03:55,889 --> 00:03:58,919
"So that I may recognize you by it on the Day of Resurrection."

84
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,919
"For those who have a staff on that day will be few."

85
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:04,020
Meaning,

86
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:08,020
That few people will have righteous deeds,

87
00:04:08,020 --> 00:04:11,020
To lean upon on the Day of Resurrection,

88
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:14,020
Just as a person leans upon his staff.

89
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:19,300
So this staff became my most precious possession.

90
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,300
I tied it to my sword,

91
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,300
And it never left my side.

92
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,370
When death approached me,

93
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:27,370
I gave instructions regarding it,

94
00:04:27,370 --> 00:04:29,370
So it was placed in my shroud,

95
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:31,370
And buried with me.

96
00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:33,689
So, who am I?

97
00:04:33,689 --> 00:04:41,660
Share your answers with us in the comments below the video.
