1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,359
Pause.

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:12,140
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

3
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140
A new challenge: Who am I?

4
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:20,899
I am one of the Companions.

5
00:00:20,899 --> 00:00:24,929
And I am the freedman of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

6
00:00:24,929 --> 00:00:28,929
I was a slave belonging to Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her.

7
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:30,929
She said to me,

8
00:00:30,929 --> 00:00:32,929
"I set you free."

9
00:00:32,929 --> 00:00:34,929
I replied,

10
00:00:34,929 --> 00:00:36,929
"Even if you had not made that a condition for me,

11
00:00:36,929 --> 00:00:40,929
I would never have parted from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

12
00:00:40,929 --> 00:00:42,929
as long as I lived."

13
00:00:42,929 --> 00:00:44,929
So she set me free.

14
00:00:44,929 --> 00:00:48,929
One day, I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him,

15
00:00:48,929 --> 00:00:51,539
and his Companions were with him.

16
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:53,539
Their baggage became heavy for them.

17
00:00:53,539 --> 00:00:57,539
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me,

18
00:00:57,539 --> 00:00:59,539
"Spread out your garment for me."

19
00:00:59,539 --> 00:01:02,539
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me,

20
00:01:02,539 --> 00:01:04,540
"Spread out your cloak."

21
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:06,540
So I spread it out.

22
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:09,540
He placed all their baggage into it.

23
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,540
Then he loaded it onto me.

24
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:13,540
And he said, "Carry it,

25
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:16,540
for you are nothing but [Abu] Kathir (the father of much/the carrier of much)."

26
00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:20,540
He gave me a title by which I have been known ever since,

27
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:22,540
until it eclipsed my own name,

28
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:25,540
and it became the most beloved of names to me.

29
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:27,540
So I carried the baggage,

30
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:29,540
and even if they had loaded me that day

31
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:31,540
with the load of one camel or two,

32
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:34,540
or five or six,

33
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:40,250
it would not have felt heavy to me.

34
00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:44,250
Once, I traveled by sea on a ship,

35
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:46,250
and it broke apart while we were on it.

36
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:48,250
I grabbed a plank from it,

37
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:51,250
and the waves cast me onto the shore.

38
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:53,250
I had barely regained my senses

39
00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:57,819
when a lion stood at my head.

40
00:01:57,819 --> 00:01:58,819
I said,

41
00:01:58,819 --> 00:01:59,819
"O lion,

42
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:04,909
I am the freedman of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

43
00:02:04,909 --> 00:02:06,909
The lion lowered its head,

44
00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:08,909
and nudged me with its shoulder,

45
00:02:08,909 --> 00:02:12,909
and walked beside me, guiding me along the path,

46
00:02:12,909 --> 00:02:15,909
until it brought me to the army.

47
00:02:15,909 --> 00:02:18,909
Then it let out a sound and departed.

48
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:22,039
I knew then that it was bidding me farewell.

49
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:24,039
So, who am I?

50
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,879
Write the correct answer in the comments,

51
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:38,879
when the next episode is released,

52
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,879
if Allah wills.
