A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the young Companions from the Ansar.
0:23
I embraced Islam at the hands of Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:28
I witnessed the battles of Badr, Uhud, and all other campaigns alongside the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:35
I was among the few who remained steadfast with him on the day of Hunayn.
0:41
One day, I passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
0:46
With him was Jibril, peace be upon him.
0:49
I greeted them both and continued on my way.
0:52
Then Jibril departed.
0:54
When I returned,
0:56
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
0:59
"Did you see who was with me?"
1:02
I said, "Yes."
1:04
He said, "That was Jibril."
1:07
"And he has returned your greeting."
1:10
I had homes near the dwellings of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:17
Whenever the Prophet, peace be upon him, would marry,
1:22
I would vacate one of my homes for him.
1:26
Until the Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
1:30
"I have become shy before you because of how often you move out of your homes for us."
1:36
My eyesight failed me at the end of my life.
1:41
So, I stretched a cord from my prayer mat to the door of my house.
1:46
I kept a basket near me containing dates and other things.
1:51
Whenever a needy person would greet me,
1:54
I would take from those dates,
1:56
Then walk along the cord until I reached the door of the house,
2:01
And hand it to the needy person.
2:04
My family would say to me,
2:06
"We will take care of it for you and deliver your charity to the needy."
2:11
But I would refuse, saying,
2:14
"I am eager to attain all the goodness and reward myself."
2:19
I was also exceptionally dutiful to my mother.
2:24
The Prophet, peace be upon him, heard my voice
2:28
As I was reciting the Qur'an in Paradise.
2:31
He said, "Such is dutifulness."
2:35
"Such is dutifulness." So, who am I?

They were here, watering our lives like clouds.
3:09
How could their memory not be exalted among us?
3:14
They departed, leaving a question in our conscience:
3:19
Is there any star like them that has risen and shone?
3:24
They filled life with pride through their deeds,
3:29
And the world of mankind flourished because of them.
