1 00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:03,459 Stop. 2 00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:08,460 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them. 3 00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:16,460 Solve this riddle: Who am I? 4 00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:25,820 I am one of the senior Companions, known for my courage and cunning. 5 00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:30,820 I embraced Islam after the Battle of the Trench and witnessed the Pledge of Ridwan. 6 00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:38,689 I was the personal bodyguard of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on the day of Hudaybiyyah. 7 00:00:38,689 --> 00:00:46,689 The reason for my conversion was that a group from the tribe of Banu Malik decided to visit the Muqawqis, the King of Egypt. 8 00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:51,689 They intended to present him with gifts to receive some wealth in return. 9 00:00:51,689 --> 00:00:57,689 I decided to join them, hoping to gain something from him myself. 10 00:00:57,689 --> 00:01:01,689 I traveled with them until we reached him. 11 00:01:01,689 --> 00:01:09,689 He looked at the leader of the Banu Malik group, brought him close, sat him beside him, and asked him questions. 12 00:01:09,689 --> 00:01:17,689 He asked, "Are you all from Banu Malik?" He replied, "Yes, except for one man," and pointed to me. 13 00:01:17,689 --> 00:01:24,780 I was the least significant of the group to him, yet he was pleased with their gifts and gave them rewards. 14 00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:30,780 He gave me only a trivial amount, not worth mentioning, and we left his presence. 15 00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:40,040 My companions went to the market to buy gifts for their families, and none of them offered to help me. 16 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:48,390 They left with wine and began drinking, so I resolved to kill them. 17 00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:57,390 I feigned illness, wrapped my head, and said, "I have no need for drink, but I will serve you." 18 00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:04,390 They did not suspect anything, so I began serving them, filling their cups one after another. 19 00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:09,389 They drank without realizing until they fell asleep, intoxicated. 20 00:02:09,389 --> 00:02:13,389 I pounced on them and killed them all. 21 00:02:13,389 --> 00:02:18,389 There were thirteen men, and I took what they had with them. 22 00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:22,550 I could not return to my people after what I had done. 23 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:27,680 So I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in Medina. 24 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,680 I found him sitting in the mosque with his Companions. 25 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,680 I greeted him and informed him of what I had done. 26 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,680 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 27 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,680 "As for your Islam, we accept it." 28 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680 "But we will not take any of their wealth." 29 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,680 "For this was treachery, and there is no good in treachery." 30 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,780 I was devastated and said: 31 00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:57,780 "I only killed them while I was still following the religion of my people." 32 00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:00,780 "I have only just embraced Islam." 33 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:03,780 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 34 00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:07,780 "Indeed, Islam wipes away what came before it." 35 00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:11,159 My uncle, 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud, paid: 36 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:15,310 The blood money for those people. 37 00:03:15,310 --> 00:03:17,310 I was one of the most cunning of the Arabs. 38 00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:19,310 And I never fell into a situation: 39 00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:22,310 But that I found a way out of it. 40 00:03:22,310 --> 00:03:26,379 Among these instances is when 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him: 41 00:03:26,379 --> 00:03:28,379 Appointed me as governor of Bahrain. 42 00:03:28,379 --> 00:03:31,379 The people there disliked me, so 'Umar dismissed me. 43 00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:34,379 They feared he would send me back to them. 44 00:03:34,379 --> 00:03:37,379 So their leader from the Ansar said: 45 00:03:37,379 --> 00:03:40,379 "If you do what I command you:" 46 00:03:40,379 --> 00:03:43,379 "He will not send him back to us." 47 00:03:43,379 --> 00:03:45,379 They said, "We will do it." 48 00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:47,379 "What do you command us?" 49 00:03:47,379 --> 00:03:50,379 He said, "Collect one hundred thousand dirhams." 50 00:03:50,379 --> 00:03:53,379 "So that I may take it to 'Umar." 51 00:03:53,379 --> 00:03:55,379 "And say to him:" 52 00:03:55,379 --> 00:03:58,379 "The governor you appointed over us:" 53 00:03:58,379 --> 00:04:00,379 "Betrayed the trust." 54 00:04:00,379 --> 00:04:04,379 "And paid me this amount from the public treasury." 55 00:04:04,379 --> 00:04:06,469 They collected one hundred thousand for him. 56 00:04:06,469 --> 00:04:08,469 He came to 'Umar. 57 00:04:08,469 --> 00:04:10,500 And told him that. 58 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,500 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, summoned me. 59 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:14,500 And asked me. 60 00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,500 I said: 61 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,500 "You lie, by Allah, O Commander of the Faithful!" 62 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,500 "It was actually two hundred thousand." 63 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,500 He asked: 64 00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,500 "What drove you to do this?" 65 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:27,500 I said: 66 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,500 "Family obligations and need." 67 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:30,500 "And now:" 68 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,600 "Let them return it to the public treasury." 69 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,600 'Umar then said to the man: 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600 "What do you say?" 71 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,600 He said: 72 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,600 "No." 73 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,600 "By Allah, I will tell you the truth." 74 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,600 "By Allah, he did not pay me a little or a lot." 75 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,600 "It was merely a ruse." 76 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,600 "So that he would not return to us." 77 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,790 'Umar looked at me and said: 78 00:04:53,790 --> 00:04:56,819 "What did you intend by this action of yours?" 79 00:04:56,819 --> 00:04:57,819 I said: 80 00:04:57,819 --> 00:04:59,819 "The wicked man lied about me." 81 00:04:59,819 --> 00:05:02,819 "So I wanted to disgrace him." 82 00:05:02,819 --> 00:05:05,269 So, who am I? 83 00:05:05,269 --> 00:05:10,459 Share your

whenever he strove or spoke. 89 00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:35,060 They were here, watering the clouds of our lives. 90 00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:40,060 Though they have passed, their memory remains exalted among us. 91 00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:45,060 They departed and left a question in our conscience. 92 00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:50,060 Is there any star like them that has risen and shone? 93 00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:55,060 They filled life with pride through their deeds. 94 00:05:55,060 --> 00:06:00,060 And the world of humanity flourished through them.
