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

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:08.460
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the eminent figures.

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

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:23.760
I am one of the Companions, from among the leaders of the Muhajirun.

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.760
I embraced Islam early on.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.760
I was one of the scribes of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and one of his appointed officials.

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.820
I was also someone whose supplications were answered.

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:38.950
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me to the people of Oman.

00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:41.950
To teach them the laws of Islam.

00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:44.950
And he appointed me as governor over Bahrain.

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:48.820
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:53.820
I set out with an army to fight the apostates in Bahrain.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:55.820
While we were on our journey,

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:58.820
We became exhausted from the intense heat and thirst.

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:01.820
Our mounts were exhausted as well.

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:03.820
For our water skins had run dry.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.819
And there was no water to be found on the road.

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:09.819
This was on a Friday.

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:11.909
When the sun passed its zenith,

00:01:11.909 --> 00:01:13.909
I led them in praying two rak'ahs.

00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:16.909
Then I raised my hands toward the sky.

00:01:16.909 --> 00:01:19.909
And we saw nothing in the sky.

00:01:19.909 --> 00:01:21.909
I called upon Allah.

00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:24.909
By Allah, I had not yet lowered my hands,

00:01:24.909 --> 00:01:26.909
When Allah sent a wind,

00:01:26.909 --> 00:01:28.909
And gathered clouds,

00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:31.909
And poured out their water,

00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:34.909
Until the pools and ravines were filled.

00:01:34.909 --> 00:01:37.909
We drank and gave our mounts to drink.

00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:39.909
And we replenished our water supply.

00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:43.260
When we reached the sea,

00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:46.260
We found that the enemy had learned of our arrival.

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:48.260
They had seized the ships.

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:52.260
So we found nothing to transport us to the island.

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.260
We stood before the sea, helpless.

00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:56.260
I said,

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:58.260
"O people,

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:02.260
Allah has shown you a sign on land,

00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:06.260
And He is capable of showing you a sign in the sea."

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:09.289
"I am firmly resolved."

00:02:09.289 --> 00:02:11.289
They asked, "What is it?"

00:02:11.289 --> 00:02:12.289
I said,

00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:17.289
"I am resolved to cross this sea on these horses of ours."

00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:20.379
They replied, "By the blessing of Allah,

00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:22.379
We are with you."

00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:25.639
So I stood on the seashore,

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.639
And said,

00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.639
"O sea,

00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.639
You flow by the command of Allah,

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.639
And we are soldiers in the path of Allah.

00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.639
I command you to solidify,

00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.639
So that we may cross to the enemy of Allah."

00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.639
The water solidified,

00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.639
And we crossed over it.

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.639
The water did not even wet our feet,

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.639
Nor the hooves of our mounts.

00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.639
We fought the enemy and were victorious.

00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.639
Then we returned, carrying the spoils of war.

00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.639
And we crossed the sea, walking upon it with our horses just as we had come.

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.740
So, who am I?

00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:08.210
Share your answers with us in the comments below the video.

00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:11.460
We will pin the correct answer in the comments

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:14.460
When the next episode is released,

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.460
If Allah wills.

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:31.460
They departed and left a question in the conscience:

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:36.460
Is there a star like them that has risen and shone?

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:41.460
They filled life with glories through their deeds,

00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:45.460
And the world of the living flourished because of them.

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:49.460
And like them, a star has risen and shone;

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:53.460
They filled life with glories through their deeds,

00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:57.460
And the world of the living flourished because of them.
