A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from the Ansar.
0:24
I am from the Khazraj tribe, specifically the Banu Najjar.
0:27
I am the brother of Anas Ibn Malik, the servant of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:33
I witnessed all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him, except for Badr.
0:39
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said about me:
0:43
"How many a disheveled, dust-covered person, who is disregarded by people,
0:47
if he were to swear by Allah, He would fulfill it."
0:50
Who among them is this?
0:54
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
0:58
I participated in the Ridda wars.
1:01
I was one of the keys to the Muslims' victory on the day of Yamama.
1:05
After Musaylimah the Liar and his followers fortified themselves in a massive orchard,
1:11
which had a high wall that they called "The Garden,"
1:15
and after the siege had dragged on for a long time,
1:17
I said to my companions:
1:19
"Lift me up on a shield upon the tips of your spears,
1:23
and then throw me into the garden."
1:26
They did so.
1:28
I stormed into the garden,
1:30
confronting the army of Musaylimah the Liar all by myself,
1:33
and I fought those defending the gate of the garden
1:37
until I managed to open it.
1:40
The Muslims then entered, shouting, "Allahu Akbar!"
1:43
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
1:47
We were victorious in the battle.
1:49
I was wounded that day
1:51
with over eighty wounds.
1:54
Khalid Ibn Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, stayed
1:57
with me for a month to treat my wounds.
2:00
I was famous for dueling before the battles began,
2:06
and I killed one hundred brave men in single combat,
2:10
not counting those I killed during the heat of battle.
2:14
Because of my extreme courage, boldness, and lack of fear of death,
2:19
the Caliph Umar Ibn Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote
2:23
to the commanders of the armies,
2:25
instructing them never to appoint me as a leader of an army or a detachment,
2:30
explaining that I was a cause of destruction for those who followed me.
2:37
In one of the battles while we were besieging the Persians,
2:41
the Persians would throw iron hooks attached to red-hot chains,
2:46
which would pierce a man’s body until he died.
2:50
One of them struck my brother Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:54
so I rushed to him
2:56
and grabbed the chain with my hand to free him from it,
3:00
until I succeeded in doing so.
3:03
Then I looked at my hand,
3:05
and the flesh had fallen off due to the intense heat,
3:09
and I could see the bone.
3:12
I later attained martyrdom
3:15
in the great battle of Tustar.
3:18
So, who am I?
3:31
I hope you succeed in the comments
3:34
when the next episode is released, if Allah wills.
