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

2
00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:08,460
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the distinguished figures.

3
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:16,460
A new "Who Am I?" challenge.

4
00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:23,859
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

5
00:00:23,859 --> 00:00:25,859
I embraced Islam early on,

6
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:29,859
because of an animal that guided me to Islam

7
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:33,859
and to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Medina.

8
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:37,859
So I migrated to him and accepted Islam at his hands.

9
00:00:37,859 --> 00:00:40,859
I prayed with him facing both Qiblahs,

10
00:00:40,859 --> 00:00:44,859
and I gave him the pledge of allegiance on the Day of al-Hudaybiyyah beneath the tree.

11
00:00:44,859 --> 00:00:50,590
One day, while I was tending my sheep in the Harrah,

12
00:00:50,590 --> 00:00:54,590
a wolf suddenly attacked a ewe from the flock

13
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:59,590
and seized it. I ran after it until I rescued the sheep from it.

14
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:04,620
The wolf then sat on its hindquarters and spoke to me in human speech,

15
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:07,620
saying, "Do you not fear Allah?

16
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:12,620
You come between me and a provision that Allah has driven to me!"

17
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:17,620
I said, "How astonishing! A wolf sitting on its hindquarters,

18
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:20,620
speaking in human speech!"

19
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:25,620
The wolf said, "Shall I not tell you of something even more astonishing than that?

20
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:28,620
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

21
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:31,620
is in Medina between the two Harrahs,

22
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:36,040
informing the people of news of what has passed before."

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,040
So when I heard the wolf's words,

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,040
I drove my sheep until I came to Medina,

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,040
gathered them into one of its corners,

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,040
and then entered upon the Prophet (peace be upon him).

27
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,140
I embraced Islam and related to him the hadith of the wolf.

28
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:59,140
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went out to the people

29
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:03,140
and said to me, "Stand up and inform them of your story."

30
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:07,170
So I informed them of what had happened between me and the wolf.

31
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:11,259
Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

32
00:02:11,259 --> 00:02:15,550
"The shepherd has spoken the truth." So, who am I?

33
00:02:28,409 --> 00:02:30,409
Allah willing.

34
00:02:30,409 --> 00:02:35,789
The best of generations in deeds and example,

35
00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:40,789
They followed the Messenger in whatever he strove for or said.

36
00:02:40,789 --> 00:02:45,789
They were here, watering our lives like rain clouds,

37
00:02:45,789 --> 00:02:50,789
And their memory continuously rises exalted among us.

38
00:02:50,789 --> 00:02:55,789
They departed, leaving a question in our conscience:

39
00:02:55,789 --> 00:03:00,789
Has any star ever risen and shone brightly like them?

40
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:05,789
They filled life with glorious achievements through their deeds,

41
00:03:05,789 --> 00:03:09,789
And through them, mankind's world blossomed in pride.
