A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:22
I am from the Ansar.
0:24
I embraced Islam.
0:26
I witnessed all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:31
On the day of Badr,
0:33
I set out with the Muslims.
0:35
On the way, a stone struck me,
0:38
and my leg was broken.
0:40
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me back to Medina.
0:44
He assigned me a share of the spoils,
0:46
so I was like one who had actually witnessed it.
0:49
My brother is Abdullah Ibn Jubayr, may Allah be pleased with him,
0:53
the commander of the archers on the day of Uhud.
0:56
Before my Islam, I was a poet with an eloquent tongue.
1:01
I loved flirting with women and sitting in their company.
1:05
After I embraced Islam,
1:07
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him, on a journey.
1:11
We stopped at a place,
1:14
and I stepped out of my tent.
1:16
Suddenly, I found some women talking,
1:19
and I was captivated by them.
1:21
I returned to my tent and took my belongings,
1:25
from which I pulled out a beautiful garment.
1:28
I put it on,
1:30
and came and sat with them.
1:32
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came out of his tent,
1:38
saw me, and recognized me.
1:41
He said to me,
1:42
"Abu Abdullah,
1:44
what makes you sit with them?"
1:46
When I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:50
I was struck with awe and became flustered.
1:53
I said,
1:54
"O Messenger of Allah,
1:56
I have a stray camel,
1:58
and I am searching for it."
2:01
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, walked on,
2:04
and I followed him.
2:06
He relieved himself and performed wudu,
2:09
and he approached with water dripping from his beard onto his chest.
2:14
He said,
2:15
"Abu Abdullah,
2:17
what became of your stray camel?"
2:20
I lowered my head in shame before him.
2:23
Then we departed,
2:25
and whenever he saw me during the journey, he would say,
2:29
"Peace be upon you, Abu Abdullah,
2:32
what became of that stray camel?"
2:35
When I saw that from him, peace be upon him,
2:40
I was overcome with shyness.
2:42
I hurried to Medina,
2:45
and I avoided the mosque and sitting with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:51
When he said that,
2:53
I waited for a time of solitude.
2:56
I came to the mosque and stood to pray.
3:00
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, suddenly came out of one of his chambers,
3:06
entered the mosque,
3:08
and prayed two light rak'ahs.
3:11
I prolonged my prayer,
3:13
hoping that he would leave and let me be.
3:18
He said,
3:19
"Prolong it, Abu Abdullah, as much as you wish to prolong it,
3:23
for I will not stand up until you finish."
3:26
I said to myself,
3:29
"By Allah, I will surely apologize to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
3:34
and I will surely please his heart."
3:37
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
3:41
"Peace be upon you, Abu Abdullah,
3:44
what became of that stray camel?"
3:47
I said,
3:49
"By the One who sent you with the truth,
3:51
no camel of mine has strayed since I embraced Islam."
3:55
The Prophet, peace be upon him, smiled at me,
4:00
and said,
4:02
"May Allah have mercy on you."
4:04
After that, I never returned to anything related to women.
4:09
So, who am I?
4:26
If Allah wills.
