0:12 Here is a challenge for you: who am I?

0:16 I am one of the young Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

0:24 I embraced Islam while I was still a youth.

0:27 The Prophet, peace be upon him, turned me away on the day of Badr.

0:31 Then, he permitted me to participate in Uhud.

0:34 On that day, Samurah ibn Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, asked to wrestle me.

0:39 He did so in order for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to permit him to fight.

0:44 We wrestled, and I threw him to the ground.

0:47 So, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, permitted him to fight.

0:51 We both witnessed that battle together.

0:54 I also witnessed every subsequent battle alongside him, peace be upon him.

0:59 I was a desert dweller, knowledgeable in agriculture and irrigation.

1:05 I was struck by an arrow on the day of Uhud.

1:10 I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him.

1:14 I said, "O Messenger of Allah, remove the arrow."

1:18 He replied, "If you wish, I will remove the arrow and the arrowhead."

1:23 Meaning the tip of the arrow.

1:25 "And if you wish, I will remove the arrow and leave the arrowhead."

1:29 "And I will bear witness for you on the Day of Resurrection that you are a martyr."

1:33 I said, "Rather, remove the arrow and leave the arrowhead, O Messenger of Allah."

1:39 So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, removed the arrow and left the arrowhead.

1:45 I lived with it until the days of Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him.

1:51 That wound reopened.

1:54 And it was the cause of my death.
