00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Pause and identify these Companions, scholars, and prominent figures.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:24.829
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from the tribe of Ghifar.

00:00:24.829 --> 00:00:29.829
I embraced Islam after the Prophet, peace be upon him, arrived in Medina.

00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:32.859
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud with him.

00:00:32.859 --> 00:00:35.859
On that day, I was struck by an arrow in my throat.

00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:39.859
I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.859
He spat on the site of the arrow wound.

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:43.859
I was healed.

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.020
Thus, I was called "al-Manhur" (the one struck in the throat).

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:52.020
The Prophet, peace be upon him, appointed me as his deputy over Medina twice.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.020
Once during the 'Umrat al-Qada'.

00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:58.020
And once during the year of the Conquest of Mecca.

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.020
I witnessed the Pledge of Ridwan.

00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:03.020
And I pledged allegiance under the tree.

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:08.950
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, intended to set out for Tabuk.

00:01:08.950 --> 00:01:11.950
He sent me to my people, the Ghifar.

00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:13.950
To mobilize them to join him.

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:17.109
And to meet their enemy in Tabuk.

00:01:17.109 --> 00:01:19.109
I came to them in their homes.

00:01:19.109 --> 00:01:24.109
I conveyed to them the command of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:01:24.109 --> 00:01:27.109
And I urged them to set out.

00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:28.109
So they mobilized with me.

00:01:28.109 --> 00:01:32.109
A large group of them witnessed the expedition of Tabuk.

00:01:32.109 --> 00:01:37.299
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, was on his way back.

00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.299
He traveled with us by night.

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:42.299
I was traveling close to him.

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:44.340
Drowsiness overcame me.

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:48.340
I began to doze off while on my mount.

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:50.340
Then I would wake up.

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:55.340
My mount had drawn near to the mount of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:57.340
Its proximity to him would startle me.

00:01:57.340 --> 00:02:01.340
For fear that I might harm the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:04.340
So I would steer my mount away from him.

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.370
Until my eyes overcame me during a part of the night.

00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:11.370
I was wearing thick sandals.

00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:16.370
My camel crowded the camel of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:22.370
The edge of my sandal struck the leg of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:02:22.370 --> 00:02:24.370
It caused him pain.

00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:27.370
He, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:31.370
"Ouch! You have hurt me, pull your leg back."

00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:33.370
And he struck my leg with his whip.

00:02:33.370 --> 00:02:35.400
I said:

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.400
"Seek forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah."

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.400
I was deeply troubled by what I had done.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.400
I feared that a Qur'anic verse might be revealed regarding me due to the gravity of my action.

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.400
When morning came.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.400
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked for me.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.400
I came to him, trembling with fear.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.430
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:

00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:03.430
"You hurt me with your leg last night."

00:03:03.430 --> 00:03:06.430
"So I struck you with the whip and hurt you."

00:03:06.430 --> 00:03:10.500
"Take these sheep as compensation for my striking you."

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:15.590
I saw contentment on his face, peace be upon him.

00:03:15.590 --> 00:03:18.689
By Allah, his being pleased with me.

00:03:18.689 --> 00:03:22.689
Was more beloved to me than the world and everything in it.

00:03:22.689 --> 00:03:25.199
So, who am I?
