WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140 Pause and identify these Companions, scholars, and prominent figures. 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140 A new challenge: Who am I? 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. 00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:26.059 I am the first person to perform 'Umrah in Islam. 00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:31.129 And the first Muslim to enter Makkah proclaiming the oneness of Allah (Tawhid). 00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:35.130 I am the leader of the Banu Hanifah and a chief among their chiefs. 00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:40.130 I am the first to impose an economic boycott on the disbelievers. 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. 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. 00:00:55.090 --> 00:00:59.090 I intended to kill him, but Allah prevented me. 00:00:59.090 --> 00:01:04.180 The Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed that Allah would grant him power over me. 00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:11.180 Some time later, the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent a detachment toward Najd. 00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:14.180 When they were on their way back, 00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:18.180 They captured me while I was setting out for 'Umrah. 00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:21.180 They took me as a prisoner with them to Madinah. 00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:25.180 Then they tied me to one of the pillars of the Mosque. 00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:29.310 The Prophet, peace be upon him, came out to me. 00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.310 He said, "What do you have to say?" 00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:37.310 I replied, "I have good, O Muhammad. 00:01:37.310 --> 00:01:40.310 If you kill me, you kill one whose blood must be avenged. 00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:43.310 If you show grace, you show grace to one who is grateful. 00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:48.310 And if you desire wealth, ask for as much as you wish." 00:01:48.310 --> 00:01:53.469 He left me and instructed his Companions to treat me well. 00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:57.469 I was fed from the finest food they had. 00:01:57.469 --> 00:01:59.469 When the next day came, 00:01:59.469 --> 00:02:03.469 He came to me and said, "What do you have to say?" 00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:07.469 I replied, "I have what I told you yesterday." 00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:09.469 He left me. 00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:12.469 When the third day came, 00:02:12.469 --> 00:02:15.469 He came to me and said, "What do you have to say?" 00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:19.629 I replied, "I have what I told you." 00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:23.629 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to his Companions, 00:02:23.629 --> 00:02:26.629 "Release him," and they released me. 00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:29.629 During those three days, 00:02:29.629 --> 00:02:31.629 I had been listening to the word of Allah, 00:02:31.629 --> 00:02:35.629 Seeing the worship of the Muslims and their unity, 00:02:35.629 --> 00:02:39.629 Their love for the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:39.629 --> 00:02:42.949 And their selflessness toward one another. 00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:45.949 So I went to a palm grove near the Mosque, 00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:48.949 Performed ghusl, then entered the Mosque. 00:02:48.949 --> 00:02:53.949 I said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, 00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:56.949 And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." 00:02:56.949 --> 00:02:59.949 "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, 00:02:59.949 --> 00:03:03.949 There was no face on earth more hateful to me than yours. 00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:07.949 But now, your face has become the most beloved of faces to me. 00:03:07.949 --> 00:03:13.020 By Allah, there was no religion more hateful to me than your religion. 00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:17.110 But now, your religion has become the most beloved religion to me. 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:22.110 By Allah, there was no land more hateful to me than your land. 00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:25.629 But now, your land has become the most beloved of lands to me. 00:03:25.629 --> 00:03:29.780 Your cavalry captured me while I was intending to perform 'Umrah. 00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:31.780 So what do you advise?" 00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.620 The Prophet, peace be upon him, gave me glad tidings, 00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:37.060 Prayed for me, 00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:40.020 And commanded me to complete my 'Umrah. 00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:43.229 When I arrived in Makkah, 00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:46.110 I performed the talbiyah of Tawhid. 00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:49.389 Someone from the people of Makkah said to me, 00:03:49.389 --> 00:03:50.909 "Have you apostatized?" 00:03:50.909 --> 00:03:52.270 I said, "No, 00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:54.270 But I have submitted to Islam, 00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:59.469 And followed Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 00:03:59.469 --> 00:04:02.830 They rose up to attack me, 00:04:02.830 --> 00:04:04.590 But I said to them, 00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:08.750 "By Allah, not a single grain of wheat shall reach you from Yamamah, 00:04:08.750 --> 00:04:13.539 Until the Prophet, peace be upon him, permits it." 00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:18.180 Some of the youth of Quraysh intended to shoot me with an arrow, 00:04:18.180 --> 00:04:20.980 But they held his hand and said, 00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:24.180 "Woe to you! Do you know who this is? 00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:27.410 He is the King of Yamamah." 00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:29.649 When I returned to my people, 00:04:29.649 --> 00:04:31.410 I kept my oath. 00:04:31.410 --> 00:04:35.569 I withheld from the people of Makkah what used to reach them from Yamamah, 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:38.209 Of their benefits and food, 00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:41.089 Until they were struck by hardship. 00:04:41.089 --> 00:04:46.370 They wrote to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, 00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:47.889 "We know you to be a man of integrity, 00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:52.290 Who commands the maintaining of family ties and urges others to do so. 00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:57.569 Your companion has cut off our supplies and harmed us. 00:04:57.569 --> 00:04:59.730 If you see fit to write to him, 00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:02.850 To let us have our supplies, 00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:04.290 Then do so." 00:05:04.290 --> 00:05:09.009 The Prophet, peace be upon him, responded to the request of his people, 00:05:09.009 --> 00:05:10.610 And wrote to me, 00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:14.610 "Let the Quraysh have their supplies." 00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:18.769 I complied with the command of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:05:18.769 --> 00:05:24.930 And allowed the Banu Hanifah to send crops to Makkah. 00:05:24.930 --> 00:05:29.089 Toward the end of the life of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:05:29.089 --> 00:05:33.170 The tribulation of Musaylimah the Liar emerged among my people. 00:05:33.170 --> 00:05:38.129 It worsened after the passing of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.449 But Allah kept me steadfast on the religion, 00:05:40.449 --> 00:05:44.529 And I did not apostatize with those who apostatized from the people of Yamamah. 00:05:44.529 --> 00:05:48.449 I said to my people, warning them against Musaylimah, 00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:50.449 "O Banu Hanifah, 00:05:50.449 --> 00:05:55.250 Beware of this dark affair which has no light in it. 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, 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:05.620 And a trial for those who do not." 00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:07.620 "O Banu Hanifah, 00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:11.699 Two prophets cannot exist at the same time, 00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:16.300 And Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and there is no prophet after him." 00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:18.699 Then I fought alongside the Muslims, 00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:23.389 Until the tribulation of Musaylimah the Liar ended with his death. 00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:26.509 Then I prepared an army from the Banu Hanifah, 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, 00:06:32.589 --> 00:06:36.750 In his war against the apostates of Bahrain. 00:06:36.750 --> 00:06:42.819 So, who am I? 00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:46.829 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:50.430 We will pin the correct answer in the comments, 00:06:50.430 --> 00:06:55.230 When the next episode is released, if Allah wills.
