WEBVTT 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 --> 00:00:23.769 I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:00:23.769 --> 00:00:26.899 I embraced Islam after the conquest of Makkah. 00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:29.899 I was an eloquent poet. 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:31.899 And a courageous knight. 00:00:31.899 --> 00:00:34.899 One of the fierce and powerful warriors. 00:00:34.899 --> 00:00:36.899 And a lover of battle. 00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:39.899 It was enough for my name to be mentioned on the battlefield. 00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:43.899 For terror to strike the hearts of the enemies. 00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:47.020 I was a noble leader among my people. 00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:49.020 And a man of great wealth. 00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.020 For I possessed a thousand camels. 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:54.020 And a horse from the finest Arabian steeds. 00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.060 Its name was al-Muhabbar. 00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.060 Yet I left all of that behind. 00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:03.060 And accompanied the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:05.060 He prayed for me. 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.060 That my transaction would not be a loss. 00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:11.920 I did not apostatize when Tulayha Ibn Khuwaylid did. 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.920 Whom the commoners of my tribe, Banu Asad, followed. 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.920 The Prophet, peace be upon him, directed me toward him. 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.920 To meet him and extinguish his sedition. 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.920 So I prepared to set out against him. 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.920 But just as I intended to engage Tulayha in combat. 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.920 The news of the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him, reached me. 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.920 So I returned with those who were with me to Madinah. 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.719 And when the Caliph Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, prepared. 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.719 The armies to fight the apostates. 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.719 And entrusted the banner to Khalid Ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.719 Ordering him to march to Buzakha. 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.719 To meet the apostates from Asad and Ghatafan. 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.719 I was one of the commanders of the troops in that army. 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.719 I fought the apostates from my own tribe. 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.719 Until Tulayha was defeated. 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.780 And the tribes of Asad and Ghatafan returned to Islam. 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.780 Khalid Ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, used to. 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:13.780 Rely on me heavily. 00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:16.780 In his conquests in the Levant. 00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.780 To the extent that I became the second-in-command of the army. 00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:24.539 After Khalid, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:27.539 In the Battle of Ajnadayn. 00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:31.539 The number of the Byzantines was three times that of the Muslims. 00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:34.539 As they numbered ninety thousand fighters. 00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:37.539 While the number of the Muslims. 00:02:37.539 --> 00:02:40.580 Was approximately thirty thousand fighters. 00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:43.580 I displayed rare courage in this battle. 00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:46.580 And caused a great slaughter. 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:49.580 In the ranks of the Byzantines. 00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:52.580 Turning the scales of the battle in favor of the Muslims. 00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:55.830 During the battle. 00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:58.830 I took off my armor and my shirt. 00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:01.900 Because I could move with more agility. 00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:04.900 As soon as the enemies saw me bare-chested. 00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.900 They coveted killing me. 00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:10.900 And getting rid of me. 00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:13.900 Thirty soldiers surrounded me. 00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:16.900 I killed a number of them, and the rest fled. 00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:19.900 So they gave me the nickname. 00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:23.060 The Bare-Chested Devil. 00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:26.060 Then I attacked the Byzantine commander, Wardan. 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:29.060 When he saw me heading toward him. 00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:32.060 He knew that I was the Bare-Chested Devil. 00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.060 For he had heard of me. 00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:38.060 A fierce duel took place between us. 00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.060 I struck him with my spear. 00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:44.060 My spear pierced his chest. 00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:47.060 And I finished him off until I severed his head. 00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:50.060 I returned with his head to the Muslims. 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:53.060 And at that moment, a cry went out from the Muslim camp. 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:57.060 Allahu Akbar! 00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:01.590 And the enemy was defeated. 00:04:01.590 --> 00:04:04.590 In the Battle of Marj al-Saffar. 00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:07.590 I met one of the Byzantine commanders. 00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:10.590 Named Paul. 00:04:10.590 --> 00:04:13.590 He wanted to avenge his companion, Wardan. 00:04:13.590 --> 00:04:16.589 The duel began between us. 00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:19.620 I struck him until he fell. 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:22.620 I raised my sword to kill him. 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:25.620 And he said. 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:28.620 "O Khalid, you kill me." 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:31.620 "Do not let this man kill me." 00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:34.620 Khalid, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him. 00:04:34.620 --> 00:04:38.069 "Rather, he is your killer and the killer of the Byzantines." 00:04:38.069 --> 00:04:45.069 So, who am I? 00:04:45.069 --> 00:04:48.069 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 00:04:48.069 --> 00:04:51.300 We will pin the correct answer in the comments. 00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.300 When the next episode is released. 00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:57.300 If Allah wills.
