A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the female Companions from the Ansar.
0:21
From the tribe of Banu al-Najjar.
0:23
I was among the first to embrace Islam.
0:26
I am the maternal aunt of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, through nursing.
0:31
My husband is the noble Companion,
0:34
'Ubada ibn al-Samit, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:37
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to visit us frequently.
0:44
Once, he entered our house,
0:47
where there was no one but me, my sister Umm Sulaym, and her son Anas.
0:52
He, peace be upon him, said:
0:55
"Stand up, so that I may lead you in prayer."
0:58
He led us in prayer at a time other than the prescribed prayer times.
1:03
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, visited me one day,
1:07
so I fed him and began to groom his hair.
1:11
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, fell asleep.
1:15
He then woke up laughing.
1:18
I asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?"
1:22
He said, "Some people from my Ummah were shown to me as warriors in the cause of Allah,
1:28
sailing across the expanse of this sea,
1:31
like kings upon thrones."
1:34
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
1:37
pray to Allah that He makes me one of them."
1:40
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, prayed for me.
1:44
Then he laid his head down and slept.
1:47
He then woke up laughing.
1:50
I asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?"
1:54
He said, "Some people from my Ummah were shown to me as warriors in the cause of Allah,
2:00
sailing across the expanse of this sea,
2:03
like kings upon thrones."
2:06
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
2:09
pray to Allah that He makes me one of them."
2:12
He replied, "You are among the first."
2:16
So I sailed the sea as a warrior in the cause of Allah,
2:19
with my husband, 'Ubada ibn al-Samit, may Allah be pleased with him.
2:23
When we reached the island of Cyprus,
2:26
I disembarked from the ship.
2:29
They brought an animal for me to ride,
2:32
but the animal threw me off, and I fell.
2:35
My neck broke, and my soul departed.
2:38
I was buried where I fell.
2:41
This occurred during the governorship of Mu'awiya,
2:44
and the caliphate of 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them both.
2:47
The Prophet, peace be upon him, had said:
2:51
"The first army of my Ummah to sail the sea
2:54
have made it incumbent upon themselves,"
2:57
meaning they have done that which makes it incumbent upon them
3:00
to enter Paradise. So, who am I?
