1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:15,289 --> 00:00:17,289
The Mawaddah Association is pleased

3
00:00:18,289 --> 00:00:21,289
to present to you glimpses from the lives of the Companions,

4
00:00:22,289 --> 00:00:24,289
by Abd al-Rahman Ra'fat al-Basha,

5
00:00:25,289 --> 00:00:26,320
may Allah have mercy upon him.

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,920
Suraqah Ibn Malik,

7
00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:34,560
may Allah be pleased with him.

8
00:00:47,859 --> 00:00:50,859
One morning, the Quraysh awoke in a state of alarm and panic,

9
00:00:51,859 --> 00:00:56,859
for word had spread through their assemblies that Muhammad (peace be upon him) had departed Makkah, shrouded by the cover of darkness.

10
00:00:57,859 --> 00:00:59,859
The leaders of Quraysh could not believe the news,

11
00:01:00,859 --> 00:01:04,859
and they rushed to search for the Prophet (peace be upon him) in every house of the Banu Hashim,

12
00:01:05,859 --> 00:01:07,859
and sought him in every home of his Companions.

13
00:01:08,859 --> 00:01:10,859
Eventually, they arrived at the house of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).

14
00:01:11,859 --> 00:01:13,859
His daughter, Asma', came out to them.

15
00:01:14,859 --> 00:01:15,859
Abu Jahl asked her,

16
00:01:16,859 --> 00:01:17,859
"Where is your father, O girl?"

17
00:01:18,859 --> 00:01:20,859
She replied, "I do not know where he is now."

18
00:01:21,859 --> 00:01:26,859
He raised his hand and struck her cheek so hard that her earring fell to the ground.

19
00:01:26,859 --> 00:01:31,900
The leaders of Quraysh went mad with rage when they became certain that Muhammad (peace be upon him) had left Makkah.

20
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:37,900
They recruited all the trackers they could find to determine the path he had taken,

21
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:39,900
and they set out with them to search for him.

22
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:41,900
When they reached the Cave of Thawr,

23
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:43,900
the trackers said to them,

24
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,900
"By Allah, your companion has not passed beyond this cave."

25
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,900
These trackers were not mistaken in what they told Quraysh,

26
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,900
for Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companion were indeed inside the cave.

27
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:58,900
Quraysh was standing right above their heads,

28
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,900
to the point that the Truthful One (Abu Bakr) saw the feet of the people moving above the cave,

29
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:05,900
and his eyes welled with tears.

30
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:09,900
The Messenger (peace be upon him) looked at him with a gaze of love, kindness, and gentle reproach.

31
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:12,900
The Truthful One whispered, saying,

32
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:15,900
"By Allah, I do not weep for my own sake,

33
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,900
but for fear that I might see you suffer harm, O Messenger of Allah."

34
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:22,900
The noble Messenger (peace be upon him) said to him, reassuringly,

35
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:24,900
"Do not grieve, O Abu Bakr,

36
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,900
for Allah is with us."

37
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:29,900
Then Allah sent down tranquility upon the heart of the Truthful One.

38
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,900
He began to look at the feet of the people,

39
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,900
then said, "O Messenger of Allah,

40
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,900
if one of them were to look down at his own feet, he would see us."

41
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:41,900
The Messenger (peace be upon him) replied,

42
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:44,900
"What is your opinion, O Abu Bakr, of two,

43
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:46,900
of whom Allah is the third?"

44
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,120
Just then, a tracker from Quraysh said to the people,

45
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,120
"Shall we look into the cave?"

46
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
But Umayyah Ibn Khalaf said to him mockingly,

47
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,120
"Do you not see this spider that has spun its web over the entrance?

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,120
By Allah, it is older than the birth of Muhammad."

49
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120
However, Abu Jahl said,

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,120
"By al-Lat and al-'Uzza,

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
I truly think he is near us,

52
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,120
hearing what we say and seeing what we do,

53
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,120
but his magic has cast a veil over our eyes."

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,250
Nevertheless, Quraysh did not give up on the task of finding Muhammad (peace be upon him),

55
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:26,250
nor did their resolve to pursue him falter.

56
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:31,250
They announced among the tribes scattered along the route between Makkah and Madinah

57
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:35,250
that whoever brought them Muhammad (peace be upon him), alive or dead,

58
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:38,250
would receive one hundred of the finest camels.

59
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:41,500
Suraqah Ibn Malik al-Mudliji was

60
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,500
in one of the assemblies of his people in Qadid,

61
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:46,500
near Makkah,

62
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,500
when a messenger from Quraysh entered upon them

63
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,500
and announced the news of the grand prize

64
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:57,500
that Quraysh had offered to anyone who brought them Muhammad (peace be upon him), alive or dead.

65
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,500
No sooner had Suraqah heard of the one hundred camels

66
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,500
than his greed was stirred,

67
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:05,500
and his desire for them intensified.

68
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:07,500
Yet, he composed himself,

69
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:10,500
and did not utter a single word,

70
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,500
so that the greed of others would not be aroused.

71
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,500
Before Suraqah rose from his seat,

72
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,500
a man from his tribe entered the assembly and said,

73
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,500
"By Allah, three men just passed by me,

74
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:27,500
and I suspect they are Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and their guide."

75
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:29,569
Suraqah said,

76
00:04:30,569 --> 00:04:31,569
"Rather, they are the people of so-and-so,

77
00:04:32,569 --> 00:04:34,569
who went out searching for a camel they had lost."

78
00:04:35,569 --> 00:04:36,569
The man said,

79
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:38,569
"Perhaps they are,"

80
00:04:39,569 --> 00:04:40,569
and he fell silent.

81
00:04:41,629 --> 00:04:42,629
Suraqah waited a little while,

82
00:04:43,629 --> 00:04:45,629
so that his departure would not stir anyone in the assembly.

83
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:48,629
When the people became engaged in another conversation,

84
00:04:49,629 --> 00:04:50,629
he slipped out from among them,

85
00:04:51,629 --> 00:04:53,629
and went lightly and quickly to his house.

86
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:59,629
He whispered to his slave girl to bring out his horse, unobserved by the eyes of the people,

87
00:05:00,629 --> 00:05:02,629
and to tether it for him in the depths of the valley.

88
00:05:03,629 --> 00:05:05,629
He ordered his servant to prepare his weapons,

89
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:08,629
and to take them out from behind the houses

90
00:05:09,629 --> 00:05:10,629
so that no one would see him,

91
00:05:11,629 --> 00:05:13,629
and to place them in a spot near the horse.

92
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:16,660
Suraqah donned his armor,

93
00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:18,660
buckled on his weapon,

94
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:20,660
mounted his horse, and set off.

95
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,660
He began to ride hard to catch up with Muhammad (peace be upon him)

96
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:28,660
before anyone else could reach him and win the prize of Quraysh.

97
00:05:29,699 --> 00:05:33,699
Suraqah Ibn Malik was a knight among the renowned knights of his people,

98
00:05:34,699 --> 00:05:36,699
tall of stature and imposing in presence,

99
00:05:37,699 --> 00:05:38,699
skilled in tracking,

100
00:05:39,699 --> 00:05:40,699
and patient with the hardships of the road.

101
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:43,699
In addition to all that,

102
00:05:44,699 --> 00:05:45,699
he was clever, intelligent, and a poet.

103
00:05:46,699 --> 00:05:48,699
His horse was of the finest breed.

104
00:05:49,699 --> 00:05:51,699
Suraqah set off, covering the ground swiftly,

105
00:05:52,699 --> 00:05:54,699
but it was not long before his horse stumbled,

106
00:05:55,699 --> 00:05:56,699
and he fell from its back.

107
00:05:57,699 --> 00:05:58,699
He took this as a bad omen and said,

108
00:05:59,699 --> 00:06:00,699
"What is this?

109
00:06:01,699 --> 00:06:02,699
Woe to you, O horse!"

110
00:06:03,699 --> 00:06:04,699
He mounted again,

111
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,699
but he had not gone far before it stumbled once more.

112
00:06:09,699 --> 00:06:10,699
His sense of foreboding increased,

113
00:06:11,699 --> 00:06:12,699
and he contemplated turning back,

114
00:06:13,699 --> 00:06:16,699
but nothing deterred him from his intent except his greed for the one hundred camels.

115
00:06:16,699 --> 00:06:20,790
Suraqah had not moved far from the place where his horse stumbled

116
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:23,790
when he caught sight of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companion.

117
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:25,790
He reached for his bow,

118
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:28,790
but his hand froze in place.

119
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:32,790
This was because he saw the legs of his horse sinking into the earth,

120
00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:35,790
and smoke rising from beneath them,

121
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:38,790
covering his eyes and the eyes of the horse.

122
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:40,790
He urged the horse on,

123
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:42,790
but it was firmly stuck in the ground,

124
00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:45,790
as if it had been nailed there with iron spikes.

125
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:48,790
He turned to the Messenger (peace be upon him) and his companion,

126
00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:50,790
and said in a pleading voice,

127
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:52,790
"O you two,

128
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:55,790
pray to your Lord for me to release the legs of my horse,

129
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:58,790
and you have my word that I will leave you alone."

130
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:00,790
The Messenger (peace be upon him) prayed for him,

131
00:07:01,790 --> 00:07:03,790
and Allah released the legs of his horse.

132
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:07,790
But his greed was soon stirred again,

133
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:09,790
and he urged his horse toward them.

134
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:13,790
This time, its legs sank deeper than before.

135
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:15,790
He cried out to them for help and said,

136
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:18,790
"Here are my provisions, my gear, and my weapons;

137
00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:20,790
take them,

138
00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:22,790
and you have the covenant of Allah from me

139
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:25,790
that I will turn away from you those who are behind me."

140
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:27,790
He (the Prophet) said to him,

141
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:30,790
"We have no need of your provisions or your gear,

142
00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:32,790
but turn the people away from us."

143
00:07:33,790 --> 00:07:34,790
Then the Messenger (peace be upon him) prayed for him,

144
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:36,790
and his horse was freed.

145
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:38,790
When he was about to return,

146
00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:40,790
he called out to them, saying,

147
00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:42,790
"Wait, let me speak to you,

148
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:46,790
for by Allah, nothing you dislike will come to you from me."

149
00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:48,790
He (the Prophet) said to him,

150
00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:50,790
"What do you want from us?"

151
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:52,790
He replied,

152
00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:54,790
"By Allah, O Muhammad,

153
00:07:55,790 --> 00:07:57,790
I know that your religion will prevail and your affair will be exalted.

154
00:07:58,790 --> 00:08:00,790
So promise me that when I come to you in your kingdom, you will honor me,

155
00:08:01,790 --> 00:08:02,790
and write that down for me."

156
00:08:03,790 --> 00:08:06,790
The Messenger (peace be upon him) commanded the Truthful One,

157
00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:09,790
who wrote it for him on a piece of bone,

158
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:11,790
and handed it to him.

159
00:08:11,790 --> 00:08:12,790
When he was about to depart,

160
00:08:13,790 --> 00:08:15,790
the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him,

161
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:17,790
"How will you be, O Suraqah,

162
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:20,790
when you wear the bracelets of Chosroes?"

163
00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:22,790
Suraqah said in astonishment,

164
00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:24,790
"Chosroes, son of Hormuz?"

165
00:08:25,790 --> 00:08:26,790
He replied, "Yes,

166
00:08:27,790 --> 00:08:28,790
Chosroes, son of Hormuz."

167
00:08:29,790 --> 00:08:30,790
Suraqah returned the way he came,

168
00:08:31,790 --> 00:08:32,789
and found the people approaching,

169
00:08:33,789 --> 00:08:35,789
searching for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

170
00:08:36,789 --> 00:08:37,789
He said to them,

171
00:08:38,789 --> 00:08:39,789
"Go back,

172
00:08:39,789 --> 00:08:41,789
for I have scoured the earth searching for him,

173
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:44,789
and you know well my expertise in tracking."

174
00:08:45,789 --> 00:08:46,789
So they returned.

175
00:08:47,789 --> 00:08:49,789
He then kept his encounter with Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companion a secret

176
00:08:50,789 --> 00:08:52,789
until he was certain that they had reached Madinah

177
00:08:53,789 --> 00:08:55,789
and were safe from the aggression of Quraysh.

178
00:08:56,789 --> 00:08:57,789
Only then did he reveal it.

179
00:08:58,789 --> 00:09:04,789
When Abu Jahl heard the news of Suraqah's encounter with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his stance,

180
00:09:04,789 --> 00:09:08,789
he blamed him for his cowardice, hesitation, and for missing the opportunity.

181
00:09:09,789 --> 00:09:11,860
Suraqah replied to his blame, saying:

182
00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:14,860
"O Abu al-Hakam, by Allah, had you been a witness

183
00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:17,860
to my horse when its legs sank into the earth,

184
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:20,860
you would have known, without a doubt, that Muhammad

185
00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:24,860
is a Messenger with clear proof; so who can oppose him?"

186
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,080
The days ran their course,

187
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,080
and Muhammad (peace be upon him), who had left Makkah as a fugitive,

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,080
shrouded by the cover of darkness,

189
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,080
returned to it as a triumphant master,

190
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,080
surrounded by thousands upon thousands, with flashing swords and brown spears.

191
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,080
And the leaders of Quraysh,

192
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,080
who had filled the earth with arrogance and pride, came to him, fearful and trembling,

193
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,080
asking him for mercy and saying,

194
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,080
"What will you do with us?"

195
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
He said to them, with the magnanimity of the Prophets,

196
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
"Go, for you are the freed ones."

197
00:10:02,179 --> 00:10:03,179
At that moment,

198
00:10:03,179 --> 00:10:05,179
Suraqah Ibn Malik prepared his mount,

199
00:10:06,179 --> 00:10:09,179
He set off toward the Messenger of Allah to declare his Islam before him.

200
00:10:10,179 --> 00:10:13,179
He carried with him the document that had been written for him ten years earlier.

201
00:10:14,179 --> 00:10:15,179
Suraqah said:

202
00:10:16,179 --> 00:10:19,179
"I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at al-Ji'ranah.

203
00:10:20,179 --> 00:10:22,179
I entered among his battalion of the Ansar.

204
00:10:23,179 --> 00:10:26,179
They began to strike me with the butts of their spears, saying:

205
00:10:27,179 --> 00:10:29,179
'Stay back, stay back! What do you want?'

206
00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:31,179
I kept pushing through their ranks,

207
00:10:31,179 --> 00:10:35,179
until I drew near to the Messenger of Allah while he was upon his camel.

208
00:10:36,179 --> 00:10:37,179
I raised my hand with the document,

209
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,179
and said, 'O Messenger of Allah,

210
00:10:40,179 --> 00:10:41,179
I am Suraqah Ibn Malik,

211
00:10:42,179 --> 00:10:43,179
and this is your document for me.'"

212
00:10:44,179 --> 00:10:46,240
The Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

213
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240
"Draw near to me, O Suraqah, draw near.

214
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,240
This is a day of fulfillment and righteousness."

215
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,240
So I approached him,

216
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,240
and declared my Islam before him,

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,240
and I received his goodness and kindness.

218
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:05,370
Not more than a few months had passed since Suraqah Ibn Malik met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

219
00:11:06,370 --> 00:11:09,370
when Allah chose to take His Prophet to His side.

220
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:12,370
Suraqah grieved for him with the deepest grief,

221
00:11:13,370 --> 00:11:15,370
and he began to envision that day,

222
00:11:16,370 --> 00:11:19,370
when he had intended to kill him for the sake of a hundred camels.

223
00:11:20,370 --> 00:11:22,370
He realized how all the camels of this world

224
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:27,370
were not worth a clipping of the Prophet’s fingernail to him now.

225
00:11:28,370 --> 00:11:30,370
He kept repeating the words the Prophet had said to him:

226
00:11:31,370 --> 00:11:34,370
"How will you be, O Suraqah, when you wear the bracelets of Chosroes?"

227
00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:38,370
He never doubted that he would indeed wear them.

228
00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:42,429
Then the days turned once more,

229
00:11:43,429 --> 00:11:46,429
and the affairs of the Muslims fell to the Faruq, may Allah be pleased with him.

230
00:11:47,429 --> 00:11:51,429
During his blessed reign, the armies of the Muslims swept over the Persian Empire,

231
00:11:52,429 --> 00:11:54,429
just as a hurricane sweeps.

232
00:11:55,429 --> 00:11:57,429
They began to demolish fortresses, defeat armies,

233
00:11:58,429 --> 00:12:00,429
shake thrones, and seize spoils,

234
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:04,429
until Allah brought about the end of the Chosroes' empire at their hands.

235
00:12:05,429 --> 00:12:08,429
One day, toward the end of the caliphate of Umar,

236
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:12,429
the messengers of Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas arrived in Medina,

237
00:12:13,429 --> 00:12:15,429
bringing glad tidings of the victory to the Caliph of the Muslims,

238
00:12:16,429 --> 00:12:19,429
and carrying to the public treasury of the Muslims the fifth of the spoils

239
00:12:20,429 --> 00:12:22,429
that the warriors had gained in the path of Allah.

240
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:25,460
When the spoils were placed before Umar,

241
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:27,460
he looked at them in astonishment.

242
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:31,460
For among them was the crown of Chosroes, encrusted with pearls,

243
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,460
and his garments woven with threads of gold,

244
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:37,460
and his mantle embroidered with jewels,

245
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:40,460
and his two bracelets, the likes of which no eye had ever seen,

246
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:44,460
along with countless other treasures.

247
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:49,500
Umar began to turn over this precious treasure with a staff he held in his hand.

248
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,500
Then he turned to those around him and said,

249
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,500
"Indeed, a people who have surrendered this are surely honest."

250
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:58,500
Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who was present at the time, said to him,

251
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:00,500
"You have remained chaste,

252
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:03,500
so your subjects have remained chaste, O Commander of the Faithful.

253
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,500
Had you indulged, they would have indulged."

254
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,500
Then the Faruq, may Allah be pleased with him, called for Suraqah Ibn Malik.

255
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:16,500
He dressed him in the tunic, trousers, and cloak of Chosroes.

256
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:19,500
He girded him with his sword and belt,

257
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,500
placed his crown upon his head,

258
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:23,500
and put his bracelets on his arms.

259
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:25,500
Yes, his bracelets.

260
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:28,500
At that, the Muslims cried out:

261
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,500
"Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest!

262
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:33,500
Allah is the Greatest!"

263
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,500
Then Umar turned to Suraqah and said,

264
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:38,500
"Well done, well done!

265
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:40,500
A Bedouin from the tribe of Mudlij,

266
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:42,500
with the crown of Chosroes upon his head,

267
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:44,500
and his bracelets upon his arms."

268
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,750
Then he raised his head to the sky and said,

269
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:50,750
"O Allah, You withheld this wealth from Your Messenger,

270
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:54,750
who was more beloved to You than I, and more noble in Your sight.

271
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:56,750
And You withheld it from Abu Bakr,

272
00:13:57,750 --> 00:14:00,750
who was more beloved to You than I, and more noble in Your sight.

273
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:02,750
Yet You have given it to me.

274
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:06,750
I seek refuge in You lest You have given it to me to lead me into temptation."

275
00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:11,820
He did not rise from his seat until he had distributed it among the Muslims.

276
00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:13,820
"How will you be, O Suraqah,

277
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:18,799
when you wear—"

278
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:20,799
"—the bracelets of Chosroes."

279
00:14:22,059 --> 00:14:24,059
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
