00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140
Stop and learn about the companions, scholars and notables

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140
A new challenge from me

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:22.640
I am one of the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.699
From the Azdi Shanwa tribe from Yemen

00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:29.699
When I was young, I loved seeking knowledge

00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:34.700
I was a doctor who treated people and promoted them from harm

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:40.770
For this reason, I had learned something from the knowledge of soothsayers and magicians

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:45.770
I was a friend of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, during pre-Islamic times

00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:51.299
I once made a pilgrimage to Mecca

00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:56.299
I heard the infidels of Quraish saying that Muhammad was crazy

00:00:56.299 --> 00:01:00.299
I was amazed at what I heard and thought to myself

00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:04.299
If you come to this man who they say is crazy

00:01:04.299 --> 00:01:08.340
So I healed him and came to him and told him

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:12.340
O Muhammad, I am more refined than these spirits

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:16.340
And God heals at the hands of whomever He wishes

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.340
May I promote you?

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:22.530
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said

00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:27.530
Praise be to God, we praise Him and seek His help

00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:30.530
Whoever God guides, there is no one who can lead him astray

00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:33.530
And whoever leads astray, there is no guide for him

00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:38.560
I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, with no partner

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.560
And that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.719
Now when I heard that

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.719
I straightened my seat and said

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.719
Repeat these words to me

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.719
So he, may God bless him and grant him peace, repeated them three times

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.719
I said, “By God, I heard what the priests said.”

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.719
And I heard the magicians say

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.719
And I heard what the poets said

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.719
I have never heard such words

00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.780
So extend your hand and I will pledge allegiance to you on Islam

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.780
So he extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.909
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me

00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:23.909
And pledge allegiance to Islam on behalf of your people

00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:26.939
So I said, “And my people.”

00:02:26.939 --> 00:02:30.939
So I pledged allegiance to Islam for myself and my people

00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:34.939
So I returned to my people and invited them to Islam

00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:39.229
So they all converted to Islam, so who am I?
