00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.360
Stop.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:22.969
I am one of the younger Companions, from the youth of the Ansar.

00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:25.969
I was born ten years before the Hijrah.

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.

00:00:30.969 --> 00:00:34.969
He turned me away, but permitted me to join on the day of the Trench.

00:00:34.969 --> 00:00:37.969
I witnessed fifteen military expeditions with him.

00:00:37.969 --> 00:00:40.969
And I traveled with him eighteen times.

00:00:40.969 --> 00:00:45.030
I was also among the scholars and jurists of the Companions.

00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:52.859
I narrated three hundred and five hadiths from the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:56.859
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, met me once.

00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:59.859
He took my hand and shook it.

00:00:59.859 --> 00:01:01.859
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:05.859
I thought shaking hands was only a practice of the non-Arabs."

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:10.859
He replied, "We are more entitled to shaking hands than they are."

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:14.859
"There are no two Muslims who meet and shake hands,

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:18.959
but their sins fall away between them."

00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.959
I was keen to shake hands after that.

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."

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.980
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came one day

00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:34.980
to my father at our house.

00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:36.980
He bought a camel saddle from him.

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:39.980
He asked my father if I could carry his belongings.

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:41.980
So I carried them with him.

00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:43.980
When we set out,

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.980
I said, "O Abu Bakr,

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."

00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:54.980
He said, "Yes.

00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:57.980
We traveled through the night and the next day,

00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:00.980
until the midday heat peaked.

00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:03.980
The road was deserted, with no one passing through it.

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:07.980
I saw a large rock that provided shade.

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:09.979
We stopped there.

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.

00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:17.979
I spread a fur over it.

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:20.979
I said, 'Sleep, O Messenger of Allah,'

00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:23.979
'while I keep watch around you.'

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:28.050
He slept, and I went out to keep watch around him.

00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:32.050
Suddenly, I saw a shepherd approaching the rock with his sheep,

00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:36.050
wanting from it the same thing we had wanted.

00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:37.050
I said to him,

00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:40.050
'To whom do you belong, young man?'

00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:41.050
He said,

00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:44.180
'To a man from the people of Makkah.'

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:45.180
I said,

00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:47.180
'Is there milk in your sheep?'

00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:49.180
He said, 'Yes.'

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:50.180
I said,

00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:51.180
'Will you milk them?'

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:53.180
He said, 'Yes.'

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:54.180
He took a sheep,

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.180
and milked it for us.

00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:59.210
I brought it to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:02:59.210 --> 00:03:02.240
and I disliked waking him up.

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.240
I found him awake just as I arrived.

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.240
I poured some water onto the milk,

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.240
until the bottom of it cooled.

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.240
Then I said,

00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.240
'Drink, O Messenger of Allah.'

00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.240
He drank until I was satisfied.

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.240
Then I said,

00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.240
'Is it not time to depart?'

00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.240
He said, 'Yes.'

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.240
So we departed after the sun had begun to decline."

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.840
I was known for my horsemanship and my courage,

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.840
and for not fearing death.

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.840
I killed one hundred men in single combat,

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.840
not counting those in general battles.

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.840
I participated in the conquest of Tustar.

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.840
I was the commander of the force that conquered Rayy,

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.840
in the year twenty-four of the Hijrah.

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.099
So, who am I?

00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:04.219
Post the correct answer in the comments.

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:07.219
Upon the release of the next episode,

00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:09.219
if Allah wills.
