A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions from the Ansar.
0:22
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud and all subsequent campaigns alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:28
I initially failed to join the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the Battle of Tabuk.
0:35
Then, I caught up with him while he was in Tabuk, and he prayed for my well-being.
0:41
The Prophet, peace be upon him, set out to confront the Byzantines in Rajab of the ninth year of the Hijra.
0:49
This was in a campaign known as the Battle of Tabuk, also referred to as the Battle of Hardship.
0:55
It was so named due to the extreme difficulty and severity of the circumstances surrounding it.
0:59
These included intense heat, scarcity of water, the great distance, and a lack of wealth and mounts.
1:06
Despite the difficulty and severity of this campaign, the Companions responded to the call of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:14
They rushed forth for jihad, traversing the vast desert amidst scorching heat and rugged terrain.
1:25
As for me, I had lagged behind and did not accompany the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Companions.
1:32
Whenever I walked through the streets of Medina, I found no one there except those known for their hypocrisy.
1:39
Or those who were excused by Allah.
1:43
I returned to my family on a hot day and found my two wives in their respective huts in our orchard.
1:51
Each of them had sprinkled water in her hut, cooled water for me, and prepared food.
2:00
When I stood at the door of the hut, I looked at my wives and what they had prepared for me.
2:06
I said to myself, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, is out in the sun, the wind, and the heat."
2:14
"While I am in the cool shade, with food prepared and a beautiful wife."
2:20
"This is not fair; by Allah, I will not enter the hut of either of you until I catch up with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."
2:31
I asked them to prepare provisions for me, which they did, then I mounted my camel and set out in pursuit of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:42
On the way, I met 'Umayr ibn Wahb, may Allah be pleased with him, who was also heading toward the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:51
We traveled together until we neared Tabuk, at which point I said to 'Umayr ibn Wahb, "I have committed a sin."
3:00
"So, it would be better if you stayed behind me until I reach the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."
3:07
He did so, and when I approached the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, while he was encamped at Tabuk.
3:15
The people said, "There is a rider approaching on the road," and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
3:24
"Be Abu so-and-so," referring to me, and they replied, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, it is indeed Abu so-and-so."
3:33
When I knelt my camel, I approached and greeted the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
3:41
He said to me, "You almost perished," so I told the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, my story.
3:51
He spoke kindly to me and prayed for my well-being; so, who am I?
