Pause and identify the Companions, scholars, and prominent figures.

A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:22
I am among the leaders of the Muhajirun and those whose migration is counted as two migrations.
0:28
I was known for the Qur'an, for knowledge, and for judicial authority.
0:32
I witnessed the Battle of Khaybar and the events thereafter with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:37
And I participated with the Caliphs after him in the Islamic conquests.
0:42
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, finished the campaign of Hunayn,
0:48
he sent my uncle, Abu 'Amir, in command of an army to Awtas.
0:52
He sent me with him, and we encountered Durayd ibn al-Simmah.
0:56
Durayd was killed, and Allah defeated his companions.
1:00
My uncle, Abu 'Amir, was struck by an arrow in his knee.
1:03
I rushed to him and said, "O my uncle, who shot you?"
1:08
He pointed to a man and said, "That is the one who shot me."
1:13
I headed toward him and caught up with him.
1:16
When the man saw me, he fled.
1:19
I pursued him, saying, "Are you not ashamed? Will you not stand and fight?"
1:25
He stopped for me, and we exchanged two sword strikes.
1:29
I killed him.
1:31
Then I returned to my uncle and said, "Allah has killed the man who shot you."
1:36
He said, "Extract the arrow," so I extracted it.
1:40
Water flowed from the wound.
1:42
He said, "O son of my brother, convey my greetings to the Prophet, peace be upon him."
1:49
"And tell him to ask Allah to forgive me."
1:52
He then appointed me as his successor over the people.
1:55
He remained for a short while, then passed away.
1:58
I then returned to Medina.
2:01
I entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, in his house.
2:05
I informed him of our news and the news of my uncle, Abu 'Amir.
2:09
I said to him, "My uncle sends you his greetings."
2:13
"And he asks you to seek forgiveness for him."
2:16
The Prophet, peace be upon him, called for water and performed wudu.
2:21
Then he raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits.
2:25
And he said, "O Allah, forgive Abu 'Amir."
2:30
"O Allah, place him on the Day of Resurrection above many of Your creation."
2:36
I said, "O Messenger of Allah, and ask for forgiveness for me as well."
2:41
He prayed for me and said, "O Allah, forgive his sins."
2:46
"And grant him an honorable entrance on the Day of Resurrection."
2:52
I spoke to the people one day and said to them:
2:55
"We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, on a military expedition."
3:00
"We were six men sharing one camel, taking turns riding it."
3:05
"Our feet became wounded, and our toenails fell off from the long walking."
3:10
"We used to wrap rags around our feet."
3:14
"That expedition was named the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' (the Battle of the Rags)."
3:19
"Because of the rags we used to wrap around our feet."
3:23
Then I regretted having mentioned this.
3:28
Fearing it might be showing off, or that I had disclosed something of my deeds.
3:34
So, who am I?
