A new challenge: who am I?
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from the Ansar.
I was among the first of the people of Medina to embrace Islam.
I witnessed both the first and second Pledges of al-'Aqabah.
I participated in all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
During the Battle of Badr,
my primary concern in this battle
was to take vengeance for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, against Abu Jahl,
who used to insult and harm him in Mecca.
I stood on the battlefield on the day of Badr,
while I was still a young man,
beside the Companion 'Abd al-Rahman Ibn 'Awf, may Allah be pleased with him.
I asked him about Abu Jahl,
as I did not know what he looked like.
He asked, "What is your need of him?"
I replied, "I have heard that he insults the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."
"By Him in Whose hand is my soul,
if I see him, my shadow shall not part from his shadow
until the one of us destined to die first meets his end."
My brother stood beside him on his other side,
and said to him exactly what I had said.
We had waited only a short while
when Ibn 'Awf saw Abu Jahl among the people like a great mountain.
He said to us,
"This is the man you were asking about."
We swooped down upon him like two falcons,
and I struck him with my sword.
Once I had gained the upper hand,
I dealt him a mighty blow,
which severed his foot along with half of his leg.
My brother also struck him a powerful blow,
until we brought him down to the ground.
Then we went to the Prophet, peace be upon him,
both of us claiming to have killed him.
He, peace be upon him, asked,
"Have you wiped your swords?"
We replied, "No."
He looked at the two swords,
and said,
"Both of you killed him."
Later, 'Ikrimah Ibn Abi Jahl spotted me in the battle,
and struck me on my shoulder,
severing my arm from the shoulder joint,
though it remained hanging by a piece of skin from my side.
I continued to fight for the rest of the day, dragging it behind me.
When it became a hindrance,
I placed my foot upon it,
pulled hard until I severed it, and then cast it aside.
I then continued the fight.
As for my brother,
he was killed during the battle.
So, who am I?
