1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,360 Stop. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 A new challenge: Who am I? 4 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:22,969 I am one of the younger Companions, from the youth of the Ansar. 5 00:00:22,969 --> 00:00:25,969 I was born ten years before the Hijrah. 6 00:00:25,969 --> 00:00:30,969 I sought to join the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, on the day of Badr. 7 00:00:30,969 --> 00:00:34,969 He turned me away, but permitted me to join on the day of the Trench. 8 00:00:34,969 --> 00:00:37,969 I witnessed fifteen military expeditions with him. 9 00:00:37,969 --> 00:00:40,969 And I traveled with him eighteen times. 10 00:00:40,969 --> 00:00:45,030 I was also among the scholars and jurists of the Companions. 11 00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:52,859 I narrated three hundred and five hadiths from the Prophet, peace be upon him. 12 00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:56,859 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, met me once. 13 00:00:56,859 --> 00:00:59,859 He took my hand and shook it. 14 00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:01,859 I said, "O Messenger of Allah, 15 00:01:01,859 --> 00:01:05,859 I thought shaking hands was only a practice of the non-Arabs." 16 00:01:05,859 --> 00:01:10,859 He replied, "We are more entitled to shaking hands than they are." 17 00:01:10,859 --> 00:01:14,859 "There are no two Muslims who meet and shake hands, 18 00:01:14,859 --> 00:01:18,959 but their sins fall away between them." 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,959 I was keen to shake hands after that. 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,980 And I would say, "It is part of the perfection of greeting that you shake your brother's hand." 21 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,980 Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came one day 22 00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:34,980 to my father at our house. 23 00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:36,980 He bought a camel saddle from him. 24 00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:39,980 He asked my father if I could carry his belongings. 25 00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:41,980 So I carried them with him. 26 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:43,980 When we set out, 27 00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:45,980 I said, "O Abu Bakr, 28 00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:52,980 tell me how you both managed when you migrated with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 29 00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:54,980 He said, "Yes. 30 00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:57,980 We traveled through the night and the next day, 31 00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:00,980 until the midday heat peaked. 32 00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:03,980 The road was deserted, with no one passing through it. 33 00:02:03,980 --> 00:02:07,980 I saw a large rock that provided shade. 34 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:09,979 We stopped there. 35 00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:15,979 I smoothed out a place with my hands for the Prophet, peace be upon him, to sleep. 36 00:02:15,979 --> 00:02:17,979 I spread a fur over it. 37 00:02:17,979 --> 00:02:20,979 I said, 'Sleep, O Messenger of Allah,' 38 00:02:20,979 --> 00:02:23,979 'while I keep watch around you.' 39 00:02:23,979 --> 00:02:28,050 He slept, and I went out to keep watch around him. 40 00:02:28,050 --> 00:02:32,050 Suddenly, I saw a shepherd approaching the rock with his sheep, 41 00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:36,050 wanting from it the same thing we had wanted. 42 00:02:36,050 --> 00:02:37,050 I said to him, 43 00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:40,050 'To whom do you belong, young man?' 44 00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:41,050 He said, 45 00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:44,180 'To a man from the people of Makkah.' 46 00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:45,180 I said, 47 00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:47,180 'Is there milk in your sheep?' 48 00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:49,180 He said, 'Yes.' 49 00:02:49,180 --> 00:02:50,180 I said, 50 00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:51,180 'Will you milk them?' 51 00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:53,180 He said, 'Yes.' 52 00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:54,180 He took a sheep, 53 00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:56,180 and milked it for us. 54 00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:59,210 I brought it to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 55 00:02:59,210 --> 00:03:02,240 and I disliked waking him up. 56 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,240 I found him awake just as I arrived. 57 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240 I poured some water onto the milk, 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,240 until the bottom of it cooled. 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,240 Then I said, 60 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,240 'Drink, O Messenger of Allah.' 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240 He drank until I was satisfied. 62 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Then I said, 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240 'Is it not time to depart?' 64 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240 He said, 'Yes.' 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,240 So we departed after the sun had begun to decline." 66 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,840 I was known for my horsemanship and my courage, 67 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840 and for not fearing death. 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840 I killed one hundred men in single combat, 69 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,840 not counting those in general battles. 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840 I participated in the conquest of Tustar. 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,840 I was the commander of the force that conquered Rayy, 72 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,840 in the year twenty-four of the Hijrah. 73 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,099 So, who am I? 74 00:04:01,219 --> 00:04:04,219 Post the correct answer in the comments. 75 00:04:04,219 --> 00:04:07,219 Upon the release of the next episode, 76 00:04:07,219 --> 00:04:09,219 if Allah wills.
