In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:15
Mawaddah Association is pleased
0:18
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
0:22
Id al-Rahman Rafah al-Pasha
0:25
May God have mercy on him
0:27
Atba bin Ghazwan
0:31
May God be pleased with him
0:48
He sheltered the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
0:51
After the evening prayer, he went to his place of rest
0:53
He wanted to get some rest
0:56
To use it for help at night
0:59
But sleep escaped the eyes of the Caliph
1:03
Because the mail was carried to him
1:05
The Persian armies were defeated by the Muslims
1:08
It was whenever his soldiers were about to finish her off
1:12
Supplies come from here and there
1:15
It quickly regained its strength and resumed fighting
1:19
And he was told
1:21
It's the city of idiots
1:23
It is one of the most important sources that supply the defeated Persian armies
1:27
With money and men
1:29
He decided to send an army to conquer Al-Ubla
1:32
And cut off its supplies to the Persians
1:35
But he suffered from the lack of men he had
1:38
This is because the young Muslims, their elderly and their elderly
1:43
They have gone out, attacking the vast expanses of the earth as invaders in the cause of God
1:48
Until he had very little left in the city
1:52
So he resorted to the method by which he was known
1:56
It compensates for the lack of soldiers with the strength of the commander
2:00
So Kinana scattered his men in front of him
2:03
He began to crush their sticks one by one
2:07
I soon finished chanting
2:09
I found it
2:10
Yes, I found it
2:12
Then he went to bed saying:
2:15
He is a mujahid
2:17
I knew him as Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and its sisters
2:21
Al-Yamama and its positions witnessed him
2:24
He did not have a sword, nor did his shot miss
2:28
Then he migrated two migrations
2:31
He was the seventh person to convert to Islam on earth
2:35
When morning came, he said:
2:37
Call me Utbah bin Ghazwan
2:40
Three hundred and fifteen men held the banner for him
2:45
He promised him that he would provide him successively with the men available to him
2:50
When the small army decided to leave
2:54
Al-Farouq stood up and bid farewell to his leader, Otba, and bid him farewell
2:58
And he said to him
2:59
O threshold
3:01
I have directed you to the land of fools
3:04
It is one of the enemy's fortresses
3:07
I hope God helps you with it
3:10
If it comes down
3:12
So call her people to God
3:14
Whoever answers you, accept it
3:16
And whoever refuses, then take tribute from him on behalf of small and lowly people
3:21
Otherwise, put an unrelenting sword at their necks
3:25
And fear God, O Utbah, in what you are entrusted with
3:29
Beware of your ego quarreling over arrogance that will spoil your hereafter
3:34
He knew that you accompanied the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:39
May God honor you with it after your humiliation
3:42
It strengthens you after weakness
3:44
Until I became an authoritative prince
3:47
An obedient leader
3:49
You say and he listens to you
3:51
You command and your command is obeyed
3:54
What a blessing it would be if she didn't deceive and deceive you
3:58
And it takes you to hell
4:01
May God protect you and me from it
4:04
Utbah bin Ghazwan went with his men
4:08
He was accompanied by his wife and five other women
4:11
Of the soldiers' wives and sisters
4:14
Until they settled in the land of Qasba
4:17
It is not far from the city of Al Abla
4:20
They had nothing to eat
4:23
When the hunger became severe for them
4:26
Utbah said: Let us flee from them
4:28
Seek for us in this land something to eat
4:32
So they searched for what would satisfy their hunger
4:36
Along with the food, they had a story that someone told them
4:40
And he said
4:42
While we were looking for something to eat
4:45
We entered a thicket, and there were two wildebeests in it
4:48
In one of them you pass
4:50
And in the other, a little white love
4:53
Covered with yellow peel
4:55
So we attracted them until we brought them close to the army
4:59
One of us looked at the basket containing the love
5:02
He said: This is poison prepared for you by the enemy
5:06
Do not approach him
5:08
He looked to the dates and made us eat them
5:11
And so are we
5:13
He saw a horse whose reins had been cut off
5:16
He approached the love tree and started eating it
5:20
By God, we were determined to slaughter him before he died
5:23
Let us benefit from his flesh
5:25
Then his friend came up to us and said
5:28
Leave him and I will guard him tonight
5:31
If I feel that he is dead, I slaughter him
5:34
When we arrived, we found the horse healthy
5:37
There is no harm in it
5:40
My sister said
5:41
My brother
5:43
I heard my father say
5:45
Poison does not harm if it is put on fire and cooked
5:49
Then I took some love and put it in the pot
5:53
And I lit a fire under it
5:55
Then she soon said
5:57
Come and see how red he is
5:59
Then he made his peel crack
6:02
Eggs emerge from it
6:05
So we threw it in the pot so that we could eat it
6:07
Utbah told us
6:09
Mention the name of God over it and eat it
6:12
So we ate it and it was very good
6:15
Then we learned later that his name was rice
6:19
It was Al-Ubla to which Utbah bin Ghazwan headed with his small army
6:24
A fortified city standing on the shore of the Tigris
6:29
The Persians had used it as a storehouse for their weapons
6:33
They made the towers of their fortresses observatories to monitor their enemies
6:38
But that did not prevent Utbah from invading it
6:41
Despite the small number of his men and the small number of weapons
6:45
Only 600 men gathered for him
6:50
They are accompanied by a small group of women
6:54
He had no weapons other than swords and spears
6:58
He had to use his intelligence
7:02
A threshold was prepared for the women, and banners were raised on the sticks of spears
7:07
He ordered them to walk behind the army
7:10
He said to them, “We are approaching the city.”
7:14
So we preferred the dirt behind us so that it would fill the air with it
7:18
When they approached Al-Ubla, the Persian soldiers came out to them
7:23
They saw them approaching them
7:26
They looked at the flags fluttering behind them
7:29
They found dust filling the air behind them
7:32
They said to each other
7:34
They are the vanguard of the military
7:36
Behind them is a huge army raising dust
7:40
We are few
7:42
Then panic spread in their hearts
7:44
Anxiety gripped them
7:46
They started carrying things that were light in weight and expensive
7:50
They race to board the ships anchored in Dhajla
7:54
And they turn away
7:56
He entered the threshold of Al-Ubula without losing any of his men
8:01
Then he conquered the surrounding cities and villages
8:04
And the riches of that are the singing of what is impossible to limit
8:08
It exceeded every estimate
8:10
One of his men even returned to the city
8:13
So people asked him
8:15
How stupid are Muslims?
8:17
He said: What are you wondering?
8:20
By God, I left them while they were hoarding gold and silver in bulk
8:25
So people began to seek the traveling idiot
8:29
Then he saw Utba bin Ghazwan
8:32
To station his soldiers in open cities
8:35
You will accustom them to easy living
8:38
And you create them with the morals of the people of that country
8:42
Their resolve to continue fighting weakened
8:46
So he wrote to Omar bin Al-Khattab
8:48
He asks him for permission to build Basra
8:51
He described the place he had chosen for her
8:54
So he gave him permission
8:56
Step into the new city
9:00
The first thing he built was its great mosque
9:03
No wonder
9:05
It is for the sake of the mosque
9:07
He and his companions went out as warriors for the sake of God
9:10
And in the mosque
9:12
He and his companions defeated the enemies of God
9:15
Then the soldiers raced to seize the land
9:18
And building houses
9:20
But Otba did not build a house for himself
9:23
But he continued to live in a tent made of cloth
9:27
This is because he had confided something to himself
9:31
Utba saw that the world was approaching the Muslims in Basra
9:36
He amazes the woman about himself
9:38
And his men who were a little while ago
9:42
They do not know any food better than boiled rice with its husk on
9:47
They have tasted the Persian food, such as faluzh, lozinj, and other things
9:52
And they found it
9:54
So he feared for his religion because of his worldly life
9:57
I prefer the future rather than the immediate
10:00
He gathered the people in the Basra Mosque and addressed them
10:03
And he said
10:04
People
10:06
The world has come to an end
10:09
And you are moving from it to a house where there will be no disappearance
10:14
So move to it with the best of your deeds
10:17
And I saw me seven times with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:23
We have no food other than tree leaves
10:26
Until our elders were afflicted with it
10:29
I picked up a rose one day
10:32
So I divided it between me and Saad bin Abi Waqqas
10:36
So I paid half of it
10:38
And Saad was responsible for the other half
10:41
So today, not a single one of us remains
10:44
Except that he is a prince over Egypt from among the regions
10:47
I seek refuge in God to be great to myself
10:51
Little in the sight of God
10:53
Then he appointed one of them as their successor
10:56
He bid them farewell to the city's misfortunes
10:59
When he came to Al-Farouq
11:02
He asked him to exempt him from guardianship, but he did not exempt him
11:05
So he insisted on it
11:07
The Caliph insisted on it
11:09
He ordered him to return to Basra
11:11
So he submitted to Omar's command unwillingly
11:14
He rode his camel while saying:
11:17
Oh God, do not return me to her
11:20
Oh God, do not return me to her
11:23
So God answered his prayer
11:26
He was not far from the city until his camel found him
11:30
He became proud of her and died
11:34
Atba bin Ghazwan has a place in Islam
11:40
Omar bin Al-Khattab
11:48
Oh poetry
11:49
Make me cry
11:50
In praising them, does he excel?
