1
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:03,459
Pause.

2
00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:08,460
Learn about the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them.

3
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:16,460
A new challenge: Who am I?

4
00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:23,539
I am one of the senior Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

5
00:00:23,539 --> 00:00:27,539
I am among the foremost of those who were the first to embrace Islam.

6
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:34,640
While I was in my homeland of Dumat al-Jandal, I heard of the Prophet’s mission.

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,640
And of his call in Makkah.

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,740
So I traveled to him.

9
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:40,740
I heard from him and accepted Islam.

10
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:44,740
Then I returned to my people to call them to Islam.

11
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:47,740
A group of my people embraced the faith.

12
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:49,740
Later, I migrated to Madinah.

13
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:52,740
I missed the Battle of Badr.

14
00:00:52,740 --> 00:01:01,820
But I witnessed the Battle of Uhud and all subsequent campaigns with the Prophet.

15
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:05,819
I was among the most handsome of people and the most pleasant in appearance.

16
00:01:05,819 --> 00:01:10,819
My name was used as a proverb for good looks and physical beauty.

17
00:01:10,819 --> 00:01:17,879
The angel Gabriel, peace be upon him, would sometimes descend in my likeness.

18
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:24,879
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me with a letter to Caesar, the King of Rome.

19
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:26,879
His name was Heraclius.

20
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:28,879
I stood at his gate.

21
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:34,879
I said, "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah."

22
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:36,879
They were alarmed by this.

23
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:40,879
I entered his presence and delivered the letter to him.

24
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:45,879
Heraclius questioned me about the Prophet.

25
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,939
Until the truth of his prophethood was established for him.

26
00:01:49,939 --> 00:01:51,939
He intended to embrace Islam.

27
00:01:51,939 --> 00:01:53,939
But the Romans did not agree with him.

28
00:01:53,939 --> 00:01:55,939
And he feared for his kingdom because of them.

29
00:01:55,939 --> 00:01:59,170
So he held back and did not accept Islam.

30
00:01:59,170 --> 00:02:02,769
So, who am I?

31
00:02:02,769 --> 00:02:06,769
Share your answers with us in the comments below the video.

32
00:02:07,019 --> 00:02:11,020
We will pin the correct answer in the comments.

33
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:16,020
Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.

34
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:21,120
They followed the generations in their stances and examples.

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,120
They followed the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.

36
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,120
They were here, watering our lives like rain clouds.

37
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,120
They passed on, yet their memory remains exalted among us.

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,120
They departed and left a question in the conscience.

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Is there any star like them that has risen and shone?

40
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,120
They filled life with glories through their deeds.

41
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,120
And the world of the self flourished because of them.
