00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:04.379
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:10.529
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, delivered a sermon and said:

00:00:10.529 --> 00:00:18.420
By Allah, we accompanied the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, both in times of travel and at home.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:25.449
He would visit our sick, follow our funeral processions, and go on military expeditions with us.

00:00:25.449 --> 00:00:29.899
He would support us with both little and much.

00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:36.899
Yet there are people who try to teach me about him, even though it is likely that some of them have never even seen him.

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:43.159
The ship of departure.

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:49.509
I will take you directly into the depths of the story and the heart of the narrative.

00:00:49.509 --> 00:00:54.509
I will not begin with you from the mountains of Makkah or the trade routes of al-Sham.

00:00:54.509 --> 00:00:59.509
I will not be in the lands of Banu Sa'd or al-Abwa'.

00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:07.609
I will not delve with you into the sequence of events, the hostility of Abu Lahab, or the companionship of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:01:07.609 --> 00:01:13.670
No, rather, I will migrate with you far, far away.

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:22.120
Across the crashing waves, the sorrows of exile, and the turning points of history.

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:27.120
From Abyssinia, I announce the beginning of my journey with you.
