1 00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:03,459 Stop. 2 00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:08,460 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most exalted. 3 00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:16,460 A serious challenge: who am I? 4 00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:23,469 I am the eldest daughter of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 5 00:00:23,469 --> 00:00:27,469 My mother is Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her. 6 00:00:27,469 --> 00:00:30,469 I was born ten years before the Prophetic mission. 7 00:00:30,469 --> 00:00:33,469 I was known as the "Lady of the Necklace." 8 00:00:33,469 --> 00:00:36,469 My father, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 9 00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:39,469 loved me and praised me. 10 00:00:39,469 --> 00:00:44,700 He married me to my cousin, Abu al-'As ibn al-Rabi', may Allah be pleased with him. 11 00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,700 I lived with him in happiness. 12 00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,729 When my father, peace be upon him, was sent as a Prophet, 13 00:00:51,729 --> 00:00:53,729 I hastened to believe in him. 14 00:00:53,729 --> 00:00:56,729 But my husband refused Islam. 15 00:00:56,729 --> 00:01:00,729 The Quraysh began urging my husband to divorce me, 16 00:01:00,729 --> 00:01:05,730 offering to replace me with a wife from the noble houses of Quraysh. 17 00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:08,730 He would reply to them, saying: 18 00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:10,730 "No, by Allah! 19 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:13,730 I will not part with my wife. 20 00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:16,730 I would not trade my wife for 21 00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:19,819 any woman from Quraysh." 22 00:01:19,819 --> 00:01:21,819 When the day of Badr came, 23 00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:24,819 my husband went out to fight the Muslims, 24 00:01:24,819 --> 00:01:27,819 and he was taken prisoner by them. 25 00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:35,819 I sent for his ransom the necklace that my mother, Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, had gifted me on my wedding day. 26 00:01:35,819 --> 00:01:39,819 When the Prophet, peace be upon him, saw it, 27 00:01:39,819 --> 00:01:41,819 he felt compassion for me, 28 00:01:41,819 --> 00:01:45,819 and he interceded for my husband to be released without ransom, 29 00:01:45,819 --> 00:01:48,849 and the necklace was returned to me. 30 00:01:48,849 --> 00:01:52,849 He asked my husband to send me to him in Medina. 31 00:01:52,849 --> 00:01:56,040 When my husband returned to Mecca, 32 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,040 he ordered me to prepare to join my father. 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,040 He asked his brother, Kinana, to escort me part of the way, 34 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,039 where I would meet some of the Companions 35 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,039 who would take me to Medina. 36 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,099 Kinana took his bow and arrows, 37 00:02:14,099 --> 00:02:17,099 and he took me out in broad daylight, 38 00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:20,099 in the sight and hearing of the Quraysh. 39 00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:23,099 The people were enraged and pursued us. 40 00:02:23,099 --> 00:02:27,099 They terrified me in my howdah until it fell, 41 00:02:27,099 --> 00:02:30,099 and I suffered a miscarriage. 42 00:02:30,099 --> 00:02:33,229 At that, Kinana scattered his arrows, 43 00:02:33,229 --> 00:02:36,229 and swore that no one should approach me 44 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:39,229 without him striking them with an arrow in the throat, 45 00:02:39,229 --> 00:02:42,229 and he never missed his mark. 46 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:44,229 The people retreated. 47 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:46,229 Then Abu Sufyan came 48 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:48,229 and said to Kinana, 49 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:51,229 "Take her back to Mecca, 50 00:02:51,229 --> 00:02:54,229 then take her out at night in secret, 51 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:57,229 so that people do not say that she 52 00:02:57,229 --> 00:03:00,229 left against the will of the people of Mecca." 53 00:03:00,229 --> 00:03:03,229 Kinana did so. 54 00:03:03,229 --> 00:03:06,229 When night fell, he took me out 55 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:09,229 and handed me over to Zayd ibn Haritha 56 00:03:09,229 --> 00:03:12,229 and another man, 57 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:14,229 whom my father, peace be upon him, 58 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:18,060 had sent to escort me to Medina. 59 00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:20,060 My husband later embraced Islam 60 00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:22,060 six years after that, 61 00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:24,060 and he migrated to Medina. 62 00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:27,060 The Prophet, peace be upon him, returned me 63 00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,060 to him under the original marriage contract. 64 00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:32,060 I remained with him, 65 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:34,060 though the illness from the fall I suffered 66 00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,060 during my migration from Mecca 67 00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:39,060 never left me, 68 00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:41,060 until my time came 69 00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:44,060 in the eighth year of the Hijra. 70 00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:47,259 The Mothers of the Believers washed my body, 71 00:03:47,259 --> 00:03:50,259 and my father, peace be upon him, gave them 72 00:03:50,259 --> 00:03:52,259 his lower garment and said, 73 00:03:52,259 --> 00:03:54,259 "Shroud her in it," 74 00:03:54,259 --> 00:03:57,259 meaning, place it directly against her body, 75 00:03:57,259 --> 00:04:00,259 underneath the shroud. 76 00:04:00,259 --> 00:04:04,319 Then my father, peace be upon him, led my funeral prayer, 77 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,319 and he and my husband descended into my grave. 78 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,379 So, who am I? 79 00:04:19,269 --> 00:04:21,269 In the comments, 80 00:04:21,269 --> 00:04:23,269 when the next episode is released, 81 00:04:23,269 --> 00:04:25,269 if Allah wills. 82 00:04:25,269 --> 00:04:27,269 The best of generations, 83 00:04:27,269 --> 00:04:30,269 in their stances and examples. 84 00:04:30,269 --> 00:04:32,269 They followed the Messenger, 85 00:04:32,269 --> 00:04:35,269 in all he strove for or said. 86 00:04:35,269 --> 00:04:37,269 They were here, 87 00:04:37,269 --> 00:04:40,269 watering the clouds of our lives. 88 00:04:40,269 --> 00:04:43,269 They led us, 89 00:04:43,269 --> 00:04:46,269 their memory rising high. 90 00:04:46,269 --> 00:04:48,269 They departed and cast 91 00:04:48,269 --> 00:04:51,269 a question into our conscience: 92 00:04:51,269 --> 00:04:56,269 Is there a star like them that rose and shone? 93 00:04:56,269 --> 00:04:58,269 They filled life 94 00:04:58,269 --> 00:05:01,269 with the glory of their deeds, 95 00:05:01,269 --> 00:05:06,269 and the world of the self flourished because of them.
