00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.459
Pause.

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:08.460
Learn about the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them.

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:16.460
A new challenge: Who am I?

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.

00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:27.539
I am among the foremost of those who were the first to embrace Islam.

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.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.640
And of his call in Makkah.

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.740
So I traveled to him.

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:40.740
I heard from him and accepted Islam.

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:44.740
Then I returned to my people to call them to Islam.

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.740
A group of my people embraced the faith.

00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:49.740
Later, I migrated to Madinah.

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:52.740
I missed the Battle of Badr.

00:00:52.740 --> 00:01:01.820
But I witnessed the Battle of Uhud and all subsequent campaigns with the Prophet.

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:05.819
I was among the most handsome of people and the most pleasant in appearance.

00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:10.819
My name was used as a proverb for good looks and physical beauty.

00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:17.879
The angel Gabriel, peace be upon him, would sometimes descend in my likeness.

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.

00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.879
His name was Heraclius.

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.879
I stood at his gate.

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:34.879
I said, "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah."

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:36.879
They were alarmed by this.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.879
I entered his presence and delivered the letter to him.

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.879
Heraclius questioned me about the Prophet.

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.939
Until the truth of his prophethood was established for him.

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:51.939
He intended to embrace Islam.

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:53.939
But the Romans did not agree with him.

00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:55.939
And he feared for his kingdom because of them.

00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:59.170
So he held back and did not accept Islam.

00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:02.769
So, who am I?

00:02:02.769 --> 00:02:06.769

We will pin the correct answer in the comments.

00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:16.020
Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:21.120
They followed the generations in their stances and examples.

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.120
They followed the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:31.120
They were here, watering our lives like rain clouds.

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.120
They passed on, yet their memory remains exalted among us.

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:41.120
They departed and left a question in the conscience.

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:46.120
Is there any star like them that has risen and shone?

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.120
They filled life with glories through their deeds.

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.120
And the world of the self flourished because of them.
