00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:12.179
Pause and identify these Companions, scholars, and prominent figures.

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:16.179
A new challenge: Who am I?

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:24.640
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Ansar.

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:30.640
I witnessed all the battles with the Prophet, peace be upon him, except for Badr.

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.640
And I pledged allegiance under the tree.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.829
I served as a judge in the Levant and Egypt.

00:00:36.829 --> 00:00:42.829
Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, used to appoint me as his deputy over Damascus whenever he was away.

00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:48.829
I was a commander of the navy, and I campaigned against the Byzantines and took captives from them.

00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:57.310
One day, a man from the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, came to me while I was in Egypt.

00:00:57.310 --> 00:01:02.310
He said, "I have not come to you as a visitor."

00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:08.310
"Rather, you and I both heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:12.310
"I hoped that you might have knowledge of it."

00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:14.310
I asked, "And what is it?"

00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:17.310
He said, "It is such and such."

00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:19.310
So we discussed the hadith together.

00:01:19.310 --> 00:01:25.379
Then he said, "Why do I see you disheveled, while you are the governor of the land?"

00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:33.439
I replied, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to forbid us from excessive luxury."

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.659
He said, "Why do I not see you wearing sandals?"

00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:46.659
I replied, "The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to command us to go barefoot sometimes."

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:50.269
A man lost one hundred dinars.

00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:55.269
He announced, "Whoever finds them, for him is twenty dinars."

00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:57.269
The one who found them came forward.

00:01:57.269 --> 00:02:03.269
He said, "This is your money, so give me what you promised."

00:02:03.269 --> 00:02:08.270
The man said, "My money was one hundred and twenty dinars."

00:02:08.270 --> 00:02:14.270
"So this hundred is mine, and the twenty dinars you have already taken."

00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.270
They brought their dispute to me.

00:02:16.270 --> 00:02:18.270
I said to the owner of the money,

00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:23.270
"Was your money not one hundred and twenty dinars, as you claim?"

00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:25.270
He said, "Yes."

00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:29.270
And I said to the other, "You found one hundred?"

00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.270
He said, "Yes."

00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:36.270
I said, "Keep the money with you until its owner comes."

00:02:36.270 --> 00:02:38.270
"Do not give him anything."

00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:40.270
"For it is not his money."

00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:43.909
One day we went out for a military campaign.

00:02:43.909 --> 00:02:45.909
I was the commander of the army.

00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:48.909
While we were moving quickly,

00:02:48.909 --> 00:02:50.909
Someone said,

00:02:50.909 --> 00:02:52.909
"O Commander,"

00:02:52.909 --> 00:02:54.909
"The people have become scattered."

00:02:54.909 --> 00:02:57.909
"Stop until they catch up with you."

00:02:57.909 --> 00:03:02.009
So we stopped in a land near a fortress.

00:03:02.009 --> 00:03:06.009
Suddenly, we were with a fair-skinned man with a mustache.

00:03:06.009 --> 00:03:08.009
They brought him to me.

00:03:08.009 --> 00:03:12.009
They said he had descended from the fortress without a safe-conduct.

00:03:12.009 --> 00:03:14.009
I questioned him.

00:03:14.009 --> 00:03:19.009
He said, "Last night I ate pork and drank wine."

00:03:19.009 --> 00:03:22.009
"Then two men came to me in my sleep."

00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:24.009
"They washed my stomach."

00:03:24.009 --> 00:03:26.009
"Then two women came to me."

00:03:26.009 --> 00:03:28.009
"They said, 'Accept Islam.'"

00:03:28.009 --> 00:03:31.009
"So I am now a Muslim."

00:03:31.009 --> 00:03:33.139
He had barely finished his words,

00:03:33.139 --> 00:03:37.139
When a stone came from the fortress and struck him.

00:03:37.139 --> 00:03:40.229
It crushed him, and he died.

00:03:40.229 --> 00:03:43.229
I said, "Allahu Akbar."

00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:46.229
"He did little work but received a great reward."

00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:50.969
We prayed over him and then buried him.

00:03:50.969 --> 00:03:52.969
A man came to me and said,

00:03:52.969 --> 00:03:56.969
"Advise me with traits by which Allah may benefit me."

00:03:56.969 --> 00:03:59.000
I said to him,

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.000
"If you can be known without being recognized, do so."

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.000
"And if you can listen without speaking, do so."

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.000
"And if you can sit without people sitting with you, do so."

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.259
So, who am I?

00:04:25.610 --> 00:04:28.610
Confirm the correct answer in the comments.

00:04:28.610 --> 00:04:33.610
Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.
