0:12
A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Muhajirun (Emigrant) Companions.
0:21
I was a leader among the prominent masters of Makkah.
0:25
I am the paternal uncle of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
0:29
And his foster brother.
0:31
I was among those closest to him.
0:34
I was known for my courage and generosity.
0:37
I was one of the most formidable youths of Quraysh.
0:40
And the most resolute among them.
0:42
I would fight wielding two swords.
0:46
To the point that people marveled at my courage and strength.
0:50
The Muslims bestowed upon me the title:
0:53
The Lion of Allah and His Messenger.
0:57
I participated with the Muslims in the Battle of Badr.
1:00
I killed a number of the polytheists and their leaders.
1:04
Among them was Tu'aymah Ibn 'Adi.
1:06
When the Battle of Uhud arrived,
1:09
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him,
1:12
In defense of the religion.
1:14
Jubayr Ibn Mut'im
1:16
Had summoned a slave of his from Abyssinia,
1:19
Known as Wahshi.
1:21
He was skilled at throwing the spear, as the Abyssinians are.
1:24
He rarely missed his target.
1:26
He said to him,
1:28
"Go out with the people,"
1:30
And incited him to kill me.
1:32
To avenge the death of his uncle, Tu'aymah.
1:35
He promised to set him free if he succeeded.
1:38
Whenever Wahshi passed by Hind Bint 'Utbah,
1:42
Or she passed by him,
1:44
She would say,
1:45
"Come, O Abu Dasmah,
1:47
Heal your heart and heal mine,"
1:49
Meaning she was inciting him to kill me.
1:53
When the armies met and the fighting began,
1:56
I surged among them like a lion.
1:59
I fought with the valor of heroes.
2:02
I fought that day with two swords.
2:05
I killed a group of the polytheists.
2:08
Wahshi was waiting for me and lying in wait.
2:12
He saw me moving through the people like a grey camel,
2:16
Cutting through the ranks with my sword,
2:19
With nothing able to stand against me.
2:21
He hid behind a rock.
2:24
While I was in that state,
2:26
Siba' Ibn 'Abd al-'Uzza advanced toward me.
2:30
When I saw him, I said to him,
2:33
"Come here, you son of the one who circumcises women!"
2:37
I struck him a blow that did not miss his head.
2:41
As I turned away from him, I stumbled.
2:44
My armor shifted, exposing my abdomen.
2:47
Wahshi caught sight of me.
2:49
He threw his spear at me.
2:51
The spear struck my lower abdomen,
2:54
And passed through between my legs.
2:57
I fell.
2:59
I tried to rise toward the one who had thrown it at me.
3:02
When Wahshi saw me rising toward him despite my injury,
3:07
He said, "I saw death."
3:10
But I was overcome,
3:12
And I fell before I could reach him.
3:15
My soul departed.
3:17
Then the polytheists came and mutilated my body.
3:21
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was deeply affected
3:24
When he saw me.
3:26
He wept and said,
3:28
"This is the Master of Martyrs."
3:31
Then I was buried with my sister's son, 'Abdullah Ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him, in one grave.
3:38
