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 --> 00:00:23.960
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.960
I embraced Islam in the ninth year after the Hijrah.

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.960
I witnessed the Battle of Tabuk.

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.340
I was among the poor Muslims of the Suffah.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:37.340
I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:40.340
I prayed the dawn prayer with him.

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:43.340
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:45.340
used to, upon finishing the prayer,

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:48.380
turn to face his Companions.

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:50.380
When he drew near to me,

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:52.380
he did not recognize me and said,

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:54.380
"Who are you?"

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:55.380
I informed him.

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:56.380
He said,

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:58.380
"What brings you here?"

00:00:58.380 --> 00:00:59.439
I said,

00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.439
"I have come to pledge my allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah."

00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.500
He said,

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.500
"On the condition of what you love and what you dislike?"

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:08.500
I said, "Yes."

00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:10.500
So I embraced Islam and pledged my allegiance.

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:15.269
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:17.269
was preparing for Tabuk.

00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:20.269
I had nothing to carry me.

00:01:20.269 --> 00:01:22.269
I began to call out,

00:01:22.269 --> 00:01:26.269
"Who will carry me, and in return, he shall have my share of the spoils?"

00:01:26.269 --> 00:01:30.340
Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, may Allah be pleased with him, called me

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:31.340
and said,

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:34.340
"I will carry you, taking turns by night

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:36.340
and taking turns by day.

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:39.340
Your hand shall be equal to mine,

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:40.340
and your share shall be mine."

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:42.340
I said, "Yes."

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.340
So we set out.

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:47.340
May Allah reward him with goodness.

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:50.340
He would carry me for my turn and even more.

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:53.340
I would eat with him, and he would set aside food for me.

00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:57.459
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent

00:01:57.459 --> 00:02:00.459
Khalid ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:02:00.459 --> 00:02:02.459
to Ukaydir al-Kindi

00:02:02.459 --> 00:02:04.459
in Dumat al-Jandal,

00:02:04.459 --> 00:02:05.459
I went out with him.

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:07.459
We were victorious.

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:09.460
I obtained six young she-camels.

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.460
I brought them to Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:13.460
and said,

00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:17.460
"Come out and look at your she-camels."

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:21.460
Ka'b came out smiling and said,

00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:23.530
"May Allah bless you.

00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:29.580
I did not carry you wanting to take anything from you."

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:33.580
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came to us one day

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:36.580
while we were sitting in the Suffah,

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:39.620
and hunger had left its mark upon us.

00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:40.620
He said,

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:45.620
"How will you be when you are satiated with wheat bread and olive oil,

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.620
and you eat various kinds of food,

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.620
and you wear various kinds of clothing?

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:54.620
Are you better today, or will you be better then?"

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:55.620
We said,

00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:57.680
"That day will be better."

00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.680
He said,

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.680
"Rather, you are better today."

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.870
Time passed,

00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:06.870
and we eventually ate various kinds of food,

00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:09.870
wore various kinds of clothing,

00:03:09.870 --> 00:03:11.870
and rode various mounts.

00:03:11.870 --> 00:03:14.219
So, who am I?

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:22.449
Share your answers with us in the comments below the video.

00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:26.669
