WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.360 Pause. 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 Try to guess who I am. 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:21.190 I am one of the noble senior Companions. 00:00:21.190 --> 00:00:24.190 I am the Caliph of the Muslims. 00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:27.190 I am one of the ten promised Paradise. 00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:29.190 I was known as Dhu al-Nurayn (the Possessor of the Two Lights). 00:00:29.190 --> 00:00:33.189 Because I married two of the daughters of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:00:33.189 --> 00:00:36.189 Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthum. 00:00:36.189 --> 00:00:39.189 I was among the first to migrate to Abyssinia. 00:00:39.189 --> 00:00:42.189 I inherited trade from my father. 00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:45.189 I became wealthy and honorable. 00:00:45.189 --> 00:00:47.189 I was generous and open-handed. 00:00:47.189 --> 00:00:50.189 I was among the wealthiest of people. 00:00:50.189 --> 00:00:53.189 I attained a prestigious status among my people. 00:00:53.189 --> 00:00:56.189 And great love. 00:00:56.189 --> 00:01:00.189 I was the wisest of the Quraysh and the soundest in judgment. 00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:02.189 I never prostrated to an idol. 00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:07.189 I never drank alcohol, neither in the pre-Islamic era nor in Islam. 00:01:07.189 --> 00:01:10.189 I was also well-versed in the knowledge of the Arabs. 00:01:10.189 --> 00:01:14.189 Such as genealogy, proverbs, and historical accounts. 00:01:14.189 --> 00:01:20.019 I accepted Islam at the hands of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:01:20.019 --> 00:01:25.019 I witnessed all the battles with the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:28.019 It was because of me that the Pledge of Ridwan took place. 00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:33.019 In it, the Prophet, peace be upon him, pledged on my behalf with his own hand. 00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:36.019 I equipped the Army of Difficulty (Jaysh al-'Usrah). 00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:38.019 I purchased the well of Rumah. 00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:41.019 And I made it an endowment for the Muslims. 00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:46.019 The Prophet, peace be upon him, wanted to expand the mosque. 00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:49.019 So I bought land adjacent to the mosque. 00:01:49.019 --> 00:01:53.019 And I gifted it to the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:55.019 So he expanded his mosque. 00:01:55.019 --> 00:01:59.019 He testified that I would be in Paradise more than once. 00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:03.120 I am the most modest of this Ummah. 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.120 One day, I entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.120 While his legs were uncovered. 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.120 When he saw me, he covered his legs and said: 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.120 "Should I not be shy of a man whom even the angels are shy of?" 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.860 I assumed the Caliphate after 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.860 It continued during the era of the conquests. 00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:29.860 Until it reached its furthest extent in the east and the west. 00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:33.860 In my era, the Muslims fought at sea. 00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:36.080 One day, 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.080 The people of Syria and the people of Iraq gathered. 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.080 In a battle before Armenia. 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.080 They disputed regarding the Qur'an. 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.080 Until Hudhayfah Ibn al-Yaman, may Allah be pleased with them both, heard. 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.080 From their disagreement what he disliked. 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.110 He rode until he came to me and said: 00:02:54.110 --> 00:02:58.110 "Save this Ummah before they disagree about the Qur'an," 00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:02.110 "As the Jews and Christians disagreed about their scriptures." 00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:04.110 I was alarmed by that. 00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:08.110 So I sent to Hafsah, Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her. 00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:13.110 "Send me the manuscripts in which the Qur'an was compiled." 00:03:13.110 --> 00:03:15.110 She sent them to me. 00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:17.110 I commanded Zayd Ibn Thabit, 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.110 Sa'id Ibn al-'As, 00:03:19.110 --> 00:03:21.110 'Abdullah Ibn al-Zubayr, 00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:24.110 And 'Abd al-Rahman Ibn al-Harith Ibn Hisham, 00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:26.110 May Allah be pleased with them, 00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:29.110 To transcribe them into codices (Mushafs). 00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:31.110 And I said to them: 00:03:31.110 --> 00:03:35.110 "If you and Zayd disagree on an Arabic word," 00:03:35.110 --> 00:03:38.110 "Then write it in the dialect of the Quraysh," 00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:42.110 "For the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." 00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:45.110 They did so until the codices were written. 00:03:45.110 --> 00:03:49.110 Then I returned the manuscripts to Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with her. 00:03:49.110 --> 00:03:54.110 And I sent a codex to every region of the Muslim lands. 00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:57.110 And I ordered them to burn every codex. 00:03:57.110 --> 00:04:01.110 That contradicted the codex I had sent them. 00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:03.180 So, who am I? 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:11.240 Share your answers in the comments below the video. 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.460 We will pin the correct answer in the comments. 00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:18.459 When the next episode is released. 00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:20.459 If Allah wills.
