WEBVTT 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. 00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179 A new challenge: Who am I? 00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:22.609 I am a Companion from the Juhaynah tribe. 00:00:22.609 --> 00:00:25.739 I was an ally of the Ansar. 00:00:25.739 --> 00:00:27.800 I embraced Islam early on. 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.800 I witnessed the Second Pledge of al-Aqabah. 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. 00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:39.090 And I would carry them out. 00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:41.090 I am the heroic revolutionary. 00:00:41.090 --> 00:00:45.820 And the man of difficult tasks. 00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:49.820 I participated in the expedition of Abdullah Ibn Unays, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.820 To kill Ibn Abi al-Huqayq in Khaybar. 00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:57.850 And I single-handedly killed the most dangerous man to the Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula. 00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:04.069 For the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called me one day and said: 00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:11.170 "It has reached me that Khalid Ibn Sufyan al-Hudhali is gathering people to attack me." 00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:15.170 "He is at Nakhlah, near Medina." 00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:17.170 "So go to him and kill him." 00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:20.260 I said, "O Messenger of Allah," 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:23.260 "Describe him to me so that I may recognize him." 00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:24.459 He said, 00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:27.459 "The sign between you and him," 00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:32.459 "Is that when you see him, you will feel a shudder in your body." 00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:33.579 I said, 00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:35.579 "O Messenger of Allah," 00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:38.579 "I do not fear anyone." 00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:39.620 He replied, 00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:40.620 "Indeed," 00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:44.620 "You will feel a shudder when you meet him." 00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:46.620 "And you will be reminded of the Shaytan." 00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:49.739 So I set out toward Khalid al-Hudhali, 00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:51.739 With my sword girded, 00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:54.739 Until I reached him at the time of Asr. 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.840 When I saw him, 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. 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.840 I said, 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.840 "The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth." 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.000 I approached him, 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000 And I feared that if a fight broke out between us, 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.000 It would distract me from the prayer. 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.000 So I prayed while walking toward him, 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.000 Signaling with my head. 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.060 When I reached him, 00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:24.060 He said, 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.060 "Who is this man?" 00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:27.060 I said, 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.060 "A man from the Arabs," 00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:33.060 "Who heard about you and your gathering against this man in Yathrib," 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:36.060 "And I have come to join you." 00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:37.289 He said, 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:40.289 "Yes, that is what we are doing." 00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:42.289 So I walked with him, 00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:44.289 Until I had the opportunity, 00:02:44.289 --> 00:02:48.289 I struck him with my sword and killed him. 00:02:48.289 --> 00:02:52.289 I left his women weeping over him, 00:02:52.289 --> 00:02:55.419 And I hurried back to Medina. 00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:58.509 When his companions saw that he had been killed, 00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:00.509 They scattered in his wake. 00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:06.310 When I arrived before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:07.310 He said, 00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:09.310 "The face has succeeded." 00:03:09.310 --> 00:03:10.340 I said, 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:13.340 "I have killed him, O Messenger of Allah." 00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:14.379 He said, 00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:15.379 "You have spoken the truth." 00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:18.379 Then he stood up with me and entered his house, 00:03:18.379 --> 00:03:20.379 And gave me a staff. 00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:22.379 He said, 00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:24.379 "Keep this with you." 00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:26.539 I went out to the people with it, 00:03:26.539 --> 00:03:28.539 And they asked, 00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:30.539 "What is this staff?" 00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:31.539 I said, 00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:35.539 "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave it to me," 00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:39.539 "And commanded me to keep it with me." 00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:40.759 They said, 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.759 "Will you not go back and ask him why?" 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.759 So I returned and asked him, 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.759 And I said, 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.759 "Why did you give me this staff, O Messenger of Allah?" 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:51.759 He said, 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:52.889 "It is," 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.889 "A sign between me and you," 00:03:55.889 --> 00:03:58.919 "So that I may recognize you by it on the Day of Resurrection." 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.919 "For those who have a staff on that day will be few." 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.020 Meaning, 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:08.020 That few people will have righteous deeds, 00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:11.020 To lean upon on the Day of Resurrection, 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:14.020 Just as a person leans upon his staff. 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:19.300 So this staff became my most precious possession. 00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:21.300 I tied it to my sword, 00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:23.300 And it never left my side. 00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:25.370 When death approached me, 00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:27.370 I gave instructions regarding it, 00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:29.370 So it was placed in my shroud, 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:31.370 And buried with me. 00:04:31.370 --> 00:04:33.689 So, who am I? 00:04:33.689 --> 00:04:41.660 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.879 We will pin the correct answer in the comments, 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.879 When the next episode is released, if Allah wills.
