00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:03.359
Pause.

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.179
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

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

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:24.350
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Ansar.

00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:28.350
I embraced Islam as soon as it entered Medina.

00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:33.350
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him, on the expedition of Badr.

00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:36.350
But I broke my leg at al-Rawha'.

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:41.350
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me back to Medina.

00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:45.350
Yet he assigned me my share and my reward from the spoils of Badr.

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:49.979
So I was like one who had witnessed it.

00:00:49.979 --> 00:00:53.979
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:57.979
I stood firm with him that day when the people retreated.

00:00:57.979 --> 00:01:00.979
I pledged allegiance to him unto death.

00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:04.980
On that day, I killed ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah.

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:06.980
And I took his spoils of war.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.980
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave me those spoils.

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.980
He did not give the spoils to anyone else that day but me.

00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:22.140
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked me on the day of Uhud while he was in the mountain pass.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:26.140
He said, "Have you seen ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Awf?"

00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:30.140
I said, "Yes, I saw him near the mountain."

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:33.140
"And there was a troop of polytheists upon him."

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:35.140
"I hurried toward him to defend him."

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.140
"But then I saw you, so I turned toward you."

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.140
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:45.140
"Indeed, the angels are defending him."

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:48.170
So I returned to ‘Abd al-Rahman.

00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:53.170
I found seven men of the polytheists lying dead before him.

00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:56.170
I said to him, "May your right hand be blessed."

00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:59.170
"Did you kill all of these?"

00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:02.170
He said, "As for this one,"

00:02:02.170 --> 00:02:06.170
"He was killed by Arta ibn Sharhabil, may Allah be pleased with him."

00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:09.169
"And these two, I killed them."

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:11.169
"But as for these others,"

00:02:11.169 --> 00:02:14.259
"They were killed by someone I did not see."

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:17.259
I said, "The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth."

00:02:17.259 --> 00:02:24.669
On the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, kept saying:

00:02:24.669 --> 00:02:27.669
"What has become of my uncle? What has become of Hamzah?"

00:02:27.669 --> 00:02:29.699
So I went out searching for him.

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:32.699
I found him killed, and his body had been mutilated.

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:35.699
I stood over him, deeply affected.

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:38.699
I could not move out of grief for him.

00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:43.699
And what would I say to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him?

00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:45.699
I delayed returning to him.

00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:49.699
Then ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, came.

00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:54.699
He found me, and he found Hamzah killed beside me.

00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:56.699
He took my hand.

00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:04.080
We returned and informed the Prophet, peace be upon him, of his death.

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.080
Then I witnessed the event of Bi'r Ma'unah.

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.080
I was killed on that day.

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.139
I was with ‘Amr ibn Umayyah, may Allah be pleased with him, tending the livestock.

00:03:13.139 --> 00:03:17.139
We saw birds circling over the camp of our companions.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:19.139
We went to them.

00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:22.139
And behold, they were all killed.

00:03:22.139 --> 00:03:24.139
I said to ‘Amr,

00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:26.180
"What do you think?"

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:32.180
He said, "I think we should join the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and inform him."

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:34.210
I said,

00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:39.210
"I would not stay behind from a place where my companions were killed."

00:03:39.210 --> 00:03:43.210
So I rushed after the polytheists until I caught up with them.

00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:47.300
I fought them until I was killed.

00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:53.240
So, who am I?

00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:05.460
Find out in the next episode, if Allah wills.
