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 --> 00:00:24.160
I am one of the noble Companions and a leader among the Ansar.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.160
I was skilled in reading and writing.

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.160
I witnessed the Second Pledge of al-'Aqabah.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.159
I was one of the twelve leaders (nuqaba') appointed during that event.

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:39.159
I also witnessed the battles of Badr and Uhud with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:46.159
The Prophet, peace be upon him, established a bond of brotherhood between me and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
Upon his arrival in Medina.

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.289
I said to my brother 'Abd al-Rahman:

00:00:51.289 --> 00:00:55.289
"The Ansar know that I am among the wealthiest of them.

00:00:55.289 --> 00:00:59.289
I will divide my wealth into two halves between you and me.

00:00:59.289 --> 00:01:01.289
I also have two wives.

00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:03.289
Look at them, and whichever one you find more appealing,

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:08.290
I will divorce her, and once her waiting period is over, you may marry her."

00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:11.349
'Abd al-Rahman, may Allah be pleased with him, said to me:

00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:15.349
"May Allah bless your family and your wealth for you.

00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:17.349
Just show me the way to the marketplace."

00:01:17.349 --> 00:01:20.219
During the Battle of Uhud,

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:22.219
the battle concluded,

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.219
and I had been struck down among the wounded Muslims.

00:01:25.219 --> 00:01:30.219
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked about me and said:

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:33.219
"Who will see for me what has become of so-and-so?"

00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:35.219
A man from the Ansar said:

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:38.219
"I will, O Messenger of Allah."

00:01:38.219 --> 00:01:40.219
He went out searching among the fallen,

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:45.219
until he found me wounded, pinned down, and in my final breaths.

00:01:45.219 --> 00:01:46.250
He said to me:

00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:51.250
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sends you his greetings,

00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:54.250
and asks how you are faring."

00:01:54.250 --> 00:01:56.340
I said to him:

00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:01.340
"Convey my greetings to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:02.340
and tell him:

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:05.340
'I can already smell the scent of Paradise.'

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:11.469
May Allah reward you on my behalf with the best reward He has ever granted a prophet for his Ummah.

00:02:11.469 --> 00:02:14.469
And convey my greetings to my people and tell them:

00:02:14.469 --> 00:02:17.469
'You have no excuse before Allah

00:02:17.469 --> 00:02:22.469
if any harm reaches the Messenger of Allah while there is still a blink left in your eyes.'"

00:02:22.469 --> 00:02:25.569
Then my soul departed.

00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:30.819
The man returned to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and informed him.

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:33.860
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:35.860
"May Allah have mercy on him;

00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:40.979
he was sincere to Allah and His Messenger, both in life and in death."

00:02:40.979 --> 00:02:46.500
