Pause.

Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.
0:12
Solve this riddle: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:23
I left my home among the Banu Aslam and migrated to Medina.
0:28
I witnessed the Battle of Badr and all the campaigns alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:34
I was among the poor, the people of the Suffah.
0:37
I remained in the company of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:41
I loved him dearly and was deeply committed to serving him.
0:46
So much so that I would stay with him day and night.
0:51
In his presence, during his travels, and in all his military expeditions.
0:55
I would spend the night at the door of his chamber.
0:59
So that perhaps the Prophet, peace be upon him, might need something.
1:03
And find me there to serve him.
1:06
One night,
1:08
I spent the night at the door of the chamber of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:13
When he rose in the night,
1:16
I brought him his water for ablution and whatever he needed.
1:19
He wished to reward me.
1:21
So he said to me,
1:23
"Ask of me what you wish."
1:25
I said,
1:26
"O Messenger of Allah,
1:28
I ask for your companionship in Paradise."
1:32
He, peace be upon him, said,
1:35
"Is there anything else?"
1:37
I said,
1:38
"That is all, O Messenger of Allah."
1:41
He said,
1:42
"Then help me against your own self by prostrating often."
1:46
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me one day,
1:51
"Will you not marry?"
1:53
I replied,
1:54
"Yes, O Messenger of Allah,
1:56
but I have nothing with which to marry."
2:00
He said to me,
2:02
"Go to such-and-such person from the Ansar,
2:04
and tell him to marry his daughter to you."
2:07
I went to him and said,
2:09
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:12
commands you to marry your daughter to me."
2:15
He said,
2:17
"Welcome to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him!
2:21
The messenger of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:25
shall not leave without his request being fulfilled."
2:27
So he married me to her.
2:29
He did not ask me for proof of my statement,
2:32
nor for any dowry.
2:35
I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and informed him.
2:40
I said,
2:41
"O Messenger of Allah,
2:43
I went to noble people,
2:45
they married me without asking for proof,
2:49
and I have nothing to give them as a dowry."
2:53
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, spoke to the Companions,
2:58
and they collected for me the weight of two date stones in gold.
3:01
And they prepared food for us.
3:04
The Ansari man said,
3:06
"This is plenty and good."
3:09
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave me a piece of land,
3:13
and he gave Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, a piece of land.
3:17
We disagreed over the boundaries of the land.
3:20
Abu Bakr said a word to me that I disliked.
3:24
Then he regretted it.
3:26
He said to me,
3:28
"Say back to me the same word so that it may be a just retribution."
3:33
I said, "I will not do so."
3:35
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, went to the Prophet, peace be upon him,
3:41
and I went after him.
3:43
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me,
3:46
"What is between you and the Siddiq?"
3:49
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
3:51
such and such happened."
3:54
He said a word to me that I disliked.
3:57
Then he said,
3:59
"Say to me what I said to you so that it may be a just retribution."
4:04
But I refused.
4:05
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
4:09
"Indeed,
4:10
do not say it back to him.
4:12
Instead, say:
4:14
'May Allah forgive you, O Abu Bakr.'
4:17
'May Allah forgive you, O Abu Bakr.'"
4:20
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, turned away weeping.
4:26
