Pause and reflect on the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.
A new challenge: Who am I?
I am one of the Companions and among the Ansar who were the first to embrace Islam.
I witnessed the Pledge of al-'Aqabah and was present with the Prophet, peace be upon him, at the Battle of Badr.
I was known for my courage, my skill in archery, and my expertise in combat.
On the night of Badr, the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked those with him:
"How will you fight?"
I stood up, took my bow and arrows, and said:
"If the enemy is within two hundred cubits, we shall use archery."
"If they draw near enough for spears to reach them, we shall engage in spear-fighting until they shatter."
"When they shatter, we shall set them aside and take up our swords for close-quarters combat."
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "This is how war has been revealed."
"Whoever wishes to fight, let him fight as this man fights."
I was among those who stood firm with the Prophet, peace be upon him, on the day of Uhud.
I performed valiantly on that day.
I killed the standard-bearers of the enemy that day: Musafi' and his brother al-Jullas.
They were the sons of Talhah Ibn Abi Talhah.
Their mother vowed to drink wine from my skull.
She offered a reward of one hundred camels to anyone who brought her my head.
At the end of the third year after the Hijrah,
The Prophet, peace be upon him, sent an expedition of ten men,
To bring him news of the Quraysh, and he placed me in command of them.
When we reached the area of al-Hada'ah, between 'Usfan and Makkah,
About two hundred men from the Banu Lihyan gathered against us.
They said to us: "Surrender, for we do not wish to kill you."
I did not trust them and said: "As for me, I will not surrender under the protection of a disbeliever."
"O Allah, inform Your Prophet about us."
I had made a covenant with Allah never to touch a polytheist,
And that no polytheist should touch me, to avoid their impurity.
Six of my companions agreed with my stance,
And they refused to surrender.
Three of us agreed to be taken captive.
We fought the polytheists until we were all killed.
They wanted to sever my head,
To give it to the woman and claim the reward.
But the 'dabr'—which are wild bees—prevented them.
They swarmed over me and drove away anyone from the polytheists who approached me.
When they stood between me and them,
They said: "Leave him until evening falls,"
"Then the bees will leave him, and we will take him."
When night approached,
Allah sent a flood through the valley,
Which carried me far away from them.
They searched for me but could not find my body.
Thus, Allah protected me from them.
And I have no known grave.
I was called 'Himiyat al-Dabr' (The one protected by the bees).
So, who am I?
The correct answer will be in the comments,
Upon the release of the next episode, if Allah wills.
