1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Pause and identify these Companions, scholars, and prominent figures. 2 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 A new challenge: Who am I? 3 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:23,059 I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 4 00:00:23,059 --> 00:00:26,059 I am the first person to perform 'Umrah in Islam. 5 00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:31,129 And the first Muslim to enter Makkah proclaiming the oneness of Allah (Tawhid). 6 00:00:31,129 --> 00:00:35,130 I am the leader of the Banu Hanifah and a chief among their chiefs. 7 00:00:35,130 --> 00:00:40,130 I am the first to impose an economic boycott on the disbelievers. 8 00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:47,130 When I cut off the supply of provisions to the people of Makkah in support of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 9 00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:55,090 Before my conversion, I had confronted the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, while I was still a polytheist. 10 00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:59,090 I intended to kill him, but Allah prevented me. 11 00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:04,180 The Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed that Allah would grant him power over me. 12 00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:11,180 Some time later, the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent a detachment toward Najd. 13 00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:14,180 When they were on their way back, 14 00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:18,180 They captured me while I was setting out for 'Umrah. 15 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:21,180 They took me as a prisoner with them to Madinah. 16 00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:25,180 Then they tied me to one of the pillars of the Mosque. 17 00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:29,310 The Prophet, peace be upon him, came out to me. 18 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:32,310 He said, "What do you have to say?" 19 00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:37,310 I replied, "I have good, O Muhammad. 20 00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:40,310 If you kill me, you kill one whose blood must be avenged. 21 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:43,310 If you show grace, you show grace to one who is grateful. 22 00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:48,310 And if you desire wealth, ask for as much as you wish." 23 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:53,469 He left me and instructed his Companions to treat me well. 24 00:01:53,469 --> 00:01:57,469 I was fed from the finest food they had. 25 00:01:57,469 --> 00:01:59,469 When the next day came, 26 00:01:59,469 --> 00:02:03,469 He came to me and said, "What do you have to say?" 27 00:02:03,469 --> 00:02:07,469 I replied, "I have what I told you yesterday." 28 00:02:07,469 --> 00:02:09,469 He left me. 29 00:02:09,469 --> 00:02:12,469 When the third day came, 30 00:02:12,469 --> 00:02:15,469 He came to me and said, "What do you have to say?" 31 00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:19,629 I replied, "I have what I told you." 32 00:02:19,629 --> 00:02:23,629 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to his Companions, 33 00:02:23,629 --> 00:02:26,629 "Release him," and they released me. 34 00:02:26,629 --> 00:02:29,629 During those three days, 35 00:02:29,629 --> 00:02:31,629 I had been listening to the word of Allah, 36 00:02:31,629 --> 00:02:35,629 Seeing the worship of the Muslims and their unity, 37 00:02:35,629 --> 00:02:39,629 Their love for the Prophet, peace be upon him, 38 00:02:39,629 --> 00:02:42,949 And their selflessness toward one another. 39 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:45,949 So I went to a palm grove near the Mosque, 40 00:02:45,949 --> 00:02:48,949 Performed ghusl, then entered the Mosque. 41 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:53,949 I said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, 42 00:02:53,949 --> 00:02:56,949 And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." 43 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:59,949 "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, 44 00:02:59,949 --> 00:03:03,949 There was no face on earth more hateful to me than yours. 45 00:03:03,949 --> 00:03:07,949 But now, your face has become the most beloved of faces to me. 46 00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:13,020 By Allah, there was no religion more hateful to me than your religion. 47 00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:17,110 But now, your religion has become the most beloved religion to me. 48 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:22,110 By Allah, there was no land more hateful to me than your land. 49 00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:25,629 But now, your land has become the most beloved of lands to me. 50 00:03:25,629 --> 00:03:29,780 Your cavalry captured me while I was intending to perform 'Umrah. 51 00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:31,780 So what do you advise?" 52 00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:35,620 The Prophet, peace be upon him, gave me glad tidings, 53 00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,060 Prayed for me, 54 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:40,020 And commanded me to complete my 'Umrah. 55 00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:43,229 When I arrived in Makkah, 56 00:03:43,229 --> 00:03:46,110 I performed the talbiyah of Tawhid. 57 00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:49,389 Someone from the people of Makkah said to me, 58 00:03:49,389 --> 00:03:50,909 "Have you apostatized?" 59 00:03:50,909 --> 00:03:52,270 I said, "No, 60 00:03:52,349 --> 00:03:54,270 But I have submitted to Islam, 61 00:03:54,270 --> 00:03:59,469 And followed Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 62 00:03:59,469 --> 00:04:02,830 They rose up to attack me, 63 00:04:02,830 --> 00:04:04,590 But I said to them, 64 00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:08,750 "By Allah, not a single grain of wheat shall reach you from Yamamah, 65 00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:13,539 Until the Prophet, peace be upon him, permits it." 66 00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:18,180 Some of the youth of Quraysh intended to shoot me with an arrow, 67 00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:20,980 But they held his hand and said, 68 00:04:21,139 --> 00:04:24,180 "Woe to you! Do you know who this is? 69 00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:27,410 He is the King of Yamamah." 70 00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:29,649 When I returned to my people, 71 00:04:29,649 --> 00:04:31,410 I kept my oath. 72 00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:35,569 I withheld from the people of Makkah what used to reach them from Yamamah, 73 00:04:35,569 --> 00:04:38,209 Of their benefits and food, 74 00:04:38,209 --> 00:04:41,089 Until they were struck by hardship. 75 00:04:41,089 --> 00:04:46,370 They wrote to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, 76 00:04:46,370 --> 00:04:47,889 "We know you to be a man of integrity, 77 00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:52,290 Who commands the maintaining of family ties and urges others to do so. 78 00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:57,569 Your companion has cut off our supplies and harmed us. 79 00:04:57,569 --> 00:04:59,730 If you see fit to write to him, 80 00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:02,850 To let us have our supplies, 81 00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:04,290 Then do so." 82 00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:09,009 The Prophet, peace be upon him, responded to the request of his people, 83 00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:10,610 And wrote to me, 84 00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:14,610 "Let the Quraysh have their supplies." 85 00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:18,769 I complied with the command of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 86 00:05:18,769 --> 00:05:24,930 And allowed the Banu Hanifah to send crops to Makkah. 87 00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:29,089 Toward the end of the life of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 88 00:05:29,089 --> 00:05:33,170 The tribulation of Musaylimah the Liar emerged among my people. 89 00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:38,129 It worsened after the passing of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 90 00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:40,449 But Allah kept me steadfast on the religion, 91 00:05:40,449 --> 00:05:44,529 And I did not apostatize with those who apostatized from the people of Yamamah. 92 00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:48,449 I said to my people, warning them against Musaylimah, 93 00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:50,449 "O Banu Hanifah, 94 00:05:50,449 --> 00:05:55,250 Beware of this dark affair which has no light in it. 95 00:05:55,250 --> 00:06:02,050 By Allah, it is a misery that Allah has decreed for those of you who follow it, 96 00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:05,620 And a trial for those who do not." 97 00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,620 "O Banu Hanifah, 98 00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:11,699 Two prophets cannot exist at the same time, 99 00:06:11,699 --> 00:06:16,300 And Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and there is no prophet after him." 100 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,699 Then I fought alongside the Muslims, 101 00:06:18,699 --> 00:06:23,389 Until the tribulation of Musaylimah the Liar ended with his death. 102 00:06:23,389 --> 00:06:26,509 Then I prepared an army from the Banu Hanifah, 103 00:06:26,509 --> 00:06:32,589 And marched with them until we joined the army of al-'Ala' Ibn al-Hadrami, may Allah be pleased with him, 104 00:06:32,589 --> 00:06:36,750 In his war against the apostates of Bahrain. 105 00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:42,819 So, who am I? 106 00:06:42,819 --> 00:06:46,829 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 107 00:06:46,829 --> 00:06:50,430 We will pin the correct answer in the comments, 108 00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:55,230 When the next episode is released, if Allah wills.
