من خيمة الجراح إلى قلب المعركة.. الصحابي الذي هزّ معركة اليمامة وهو جريح

0:01 Pause,

0:03 and get to know the Companions, scholars, and prominent figures!

0:12 A new challenge: Who am I?

0:16 I am one of the Companions and an early champion of Islam,

0:23 and among the brave Muslims who set the finest examples of sacrifice and loyalty to this faith.

0:30 My kunya is Abu 'Aqil, and my lineage traces back to the famous Arab tribe of Bali.

0:37 I was an ally of the Aws in Medina,

0:40 and thus became one of the Ansar through my alliance with them.

0:44 I took part in Badr and the subsequent battles alongside the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

0:50 I was eager to give and spend in the path of Allah,

0:55 despite my poverty and meager means.

0:58 One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) called upon the people to equip the army for an expedition,

1:06 so I went out and spent the entire day drawing and hauling water,

1:11 earning two sa's of grain from it.

1:14 I left one sa' for my family,

1:16 and presented the second sa' to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to help equip the army.

1:22 After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

1:27 I set out for the Ridda Wars with the army of Khalid Ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him.

1:33 In the Battle of al-Yamama, I was severely wounded;

1:37 an arrow struck my chest,

1:40 lodged between my shoulder blades,

1:42 and paralyzed my left arm.

1:45 So I reached for the arrow with my other hand,

1:48 tore it out with all my might,

1:50 and stood firm to fight.

1:52 Yet, owing to heavy blood loss,

1:54 my strength failed me,

1:56 and I collapsed on the spot.

1:58 The Muslims carried me

2:00 and placed me in a tent at the edge of the battlefield.

2:05 When the fighting grew fierce,

2:08 the Muslim ranks wavered,

2:10 and Musaylimah was on the verge of victory,

2:13 I heard al-Bara' Ibn Malik al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) calling out:

2:18 "Where are you, O assembly of the Ansar?

2:21 Come to me!

2:23 Come to me!"

2:25 Then, through a slit in the tent, I saw

2:27 Ma'n Ibn 'Adi al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him,

2:31 breaking his sword's scabbard and charging to the front ranks,

2:35 shouting at the top of his voice:

2:37 "For Allah! For Allah, O assembly of the Ansar!

2:41 Charge again, charge against your enemy!"

2:44 So I rose to answer the call,

2:46 dragging myself despite my wounds.

2:49 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, saw me

2:53 and said to me,

2:55 "Where are you going, Abu 'Aqil?

2:57 What do you intend to do?"

2:59 I said to him,

3:00 "Did you not hear al-Bara' Ibn Malik and Ma'n Ibn 'Adi calling out?"

3:05 He said,

3:07 "They did not call you by name,

3:09 nor did they specify anyone in particular,

3:11 and their call was not meant for the wounded."

3:14 I said to him,

3:16 "They are calling the Ansar,

3:19 and I am one of them,

3:21 and I must answer them, even if I have to crawl."

3:25 So I took the sword in my right hand

3:27 and began calling out:

3:29 "O people of the Ansar!

3:31 Charge, like the charge of Hunayn!

3:33 Charge, like the charge of Hunayn!"

3:36 The Ansar gathered and closed their ranks,

3:39 and the Muslims advanced, fighting selflessly,

3:42 until they drove Musaylimah and his men into the Garden of Death,

3:47 where they met their end.

3:50 During the fighting, my arm was severed from the shoulder,

3:54 and I sustained fourteen wounds,

3:57 all of them mortal.

3:59 I fell onto the battlefield with barely a breath of life remaining.

4:03 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar was watching me from afar,

4:07 so he came over to me and said,

4:09 "O uncle!"

4:11 I asked him,

4:12 "Who has been defeated?"

4:14 He replied,

4:15 "Rejoice!

4:16 The enemy of Allah and the enemy of His Messenger—

4:19 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him—

4:21 Musaylimah, has been killed!"

4:24 So I raised my finger to the sky,

4:26 praising Allah, the Exalted and Majestic,

4:29 and then breathed my last as a martyr

4:32 at the Battle of al-Yamama.

4:34 So, who am I?

4:44 and we will pin the correct answer in the comments

4:48 when the next episode is released,

4:51 if Allah wills.
