A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions from the Ansar and among the first to embrace Islam.
0:25
I witnessed the battles of Badr and Uhud with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:30
I was killed on the day of Bi'r Ma'una in the fourth year after the Hijrah.
0:36
Some people came to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:41
They said to him:
0:43
"Send with us men to teach us the Qur'an and the Sunnah."
0:49
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent with them seventy men from the Ansar.
0:55
They were known as the Qurra' (the Reciters).
0:58
And I was one of them.
1:00
We used to recite the Qur'an and study it together at night.
1:05
During the day, we would fetch water and place it in the mosque.
1:10
We would gather firewood and sell it.
1:13
With the proceeds, we would buy food for the Ahl al-Suffah and the poor.
1:17
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me with a letter to the enemy of Allah and His Messenger,
1:25
'Amir ibn al-Tufayl,
1:27
the leader of the Banu 'Amir ibn Sa'sa'ah from Hawazin.
1:31
When we arrived at Bi'r Ma'una,
1:34
I presented the letter of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to 'Amir ibn al-Tufayl.
1:41
When he took the letter, he did not even look at it.
1:45
He signaled to one of his men,
1:47
who treacherously stabbed me in the back with a spear.
1:51
The spear passed clean through my body.
1:54
I took the blood with my hand and sprinkled it over my head and face, saying:
2:00
"I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!"
2:03
As for my companions,
2:06
the Banu Sulaym surrounded them,
2:09
and they fought them until they killed them all,
2:13
except for one man who was left with a flicker of life.
2:16
He survived, and then attained martyrdom on the day of the Trench.
2:20
So, who am I?

2:37
The best of generations in their deeds and examples,
2:43
following the Messenger whenever he strove or spoke.
2:48
They were here, watering the clouds of our lives,
2:53
and their memory remains exalted among us.
2:58
They departed, leaving a question in the conscience:
3:03
Is there any star like them that has risen and shone?
3:08
They filled life with pride through their actions,
3:13
and the world of mankind flourished because of them.
