00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.459
Pause.

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:08.460
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most exalted.

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:16.460
A serious challenge: who am I?

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:22.789
I am a woman from the tribe of Khuza'a.

00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:26.789
I was known for eloquence, magnanimity, and generosity.

00:00:26.789 --> 00:00:29.789
I was an elderly woman.

00:00:29.789 --> 00:00:31.789
Distinguished and resilient.

00:00:31.789 --> 00:00:36.789
I had a tent on the path of travelers heading to Medina.

00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:38.789
I would sit in its courtyard.

00:00:38.789 --> 00:00:41.789
I would provide water and food to those who passed by me.

00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:44.530
One day,

00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:47.530
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by me,

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:49.530
Accompanied by his Companions,

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:52.530
While they were on their journey of migration to Medina.

00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:54.530
I did not recognize them.

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:59.530
They asked me for meat or dates to buy from me,

00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:03.530
But they found nothing of the sort with me.

00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:06.530
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, looked

00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:09.530
At a ewe in the corner of the tent.

00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:12.530
He asked, "What is this ewe?"

00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:16.530
I replied, "It has been left behind by the flock due to exhaustion."

00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:19.530
He asked, "Does it have any milk?"

00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:23.530
I said, "It is too exhausted for that."

00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:26.530
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:28.530
"Do you permit me to milk it?"

00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:30.530
I said, "Yes,

00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:33.530
If you see any milk in it, then milk it."

00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:36.659
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:37.659
For the ewe.

00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:39.659
He wiped its udder,

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:41.659
Mentioned the name of Allah,

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:42.659
And said,

00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:46.659
"O Allah, bless her in her ewe."

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:50.659
It spread its legs, gave plenty of milk, and chewed its cud.

00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:52.659
The Prophet, peace be upon him, called

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.659
For a vessel large enough for the group of people.

00:01:56.659 --> 00:01:58.659
He milked into it until it was full.

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:01.659
He gave me to drink until I was satisfied.

00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:04.659
Then he milked and gave his Companions to drink.

00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:07.659
Then he drank, being the last of them.

00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:08.659
And he said,

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:11.659
"The one who serves the people is the last of them to drink."

00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:14.780
Then he milked into it once more,

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:15.780
And they drank.

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:17.780
Then he milked into it again,

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.780
And left the vessel with me.

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:22.780
Then they mounted their mounts and departed.

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:26.710
It was not long before my husband arrived,

00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:28.710
Driving lean, emaciated goats.

00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:30.710
When he saw the milk,

00:02:30.710 --> 00:02:32.710
He was amazed and said,

00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:34.710
"Where did you get this from,

00:02:34.710 --> 00:02:36.710
When the ewe is not a milker?"

00:02:36.710 --> 00:02:37.710
I said,

00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:40.710
"A blessed man passed by us."

00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:41.710
He said,

00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:43.710
"Describe him to me."

00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.710
So I described him with the best and most precise description;

00:02:46.710 --> 00:02:51.710
No one has described the Prophet, peace be upon him, as I did.

00:02:51.710 --> 00:02:53.710
My husband said,

00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:55.710
"By Allah, he is the man of Quraysh

00:02:55.710 --> 00:02:59.710
Whose story we heard about in Mecca.

00:02:59.710 --> 00:03:02.710
I have intended to accompany him,

00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:06.710
And I shall do so if I find a way."

00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:10.710
Then I traveled with my husband to Medina,

00:03:10.710 --> 00:03:13.710
Where we met the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:17.710
We embraced Islam at his hands and pledged our allegiance to him.

00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:19.969
So, who am I?

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:30.659
I will provide the correct answer in the comments

00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:35.659
When the next episode is released, if Allah wills.

00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:40.979
The best of generations in their stances and examples,

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:45.979
Who followed the Messenger in his actions and his words.

00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:50.979
They were here, watering the clouds of our lives,

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:55.979
And though they passed, their memory remains exalted among us.

00:03:55.979 --> 00:04:00.979
They departed, leaving a question in the conscience:

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:05.979
Has any star ever risen and shone like them?

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:10.979
They filled life with glories through their deeds,

00:04:10.979 --> 00:04:14.979
And the world of the Ummah flourished because of them.
