In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:15
Mawaddah Association is pleased
0:17
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
0:21
Id al-Rahman Rafah al-Pasha
0:25
May God have mercy on him
0:26
Haqa bin Omar, may God be pleased with him
0:51
Here we are in the ninth year of the Hijra
0:54
It is the year that Muslims called the Year of Delegations
0:58
And here is the city of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, opening its spacious chest
1:04
To receive with brilliance every morning one or more delegations
1:09
They came from all over the Arabian Peninsula
1:13
To declare their Islam in the hands of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
1:17
They pledge allegiance to him by listening and obeying him
1:20
And here they are, the most glorious masters of Bani Tamim
1:25
They submit to Islam after a long break
1:28
They come to Medina as obedient Muslims
1:32
They extend their hands to the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, pledging allegiance
1:38
While the people were declaring their Islam in the hands of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:45
And they take their prizes that he ordered for them
1:49
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was characterized by a young man among them
1:54
And stares at him
1:56
Then he stared at him and said
1:59
Musm fatta
2:01
Al-Qaqa bin Omar said:
2:04
He said, “I have not prepared for jihad for the sake of God, O Qaqa.”
2:10
He said: Obedience to God and His Messenger
2:13
And the flawless horses and the delicate spears
2:17
He said that is the purpose
2:20
Since that day
2:22
Al-Qaqa bin Omar laid down his soul and his sword in obedience to God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:29
And he made a bed for the horses' horses
2:32
Let us spend these wonderful moments with Al-Qaqaa bin Omar
2:38
Its leader is Saif al-Islam Khalid bin al-Walid, may God be pleased with him
2:44
Khaled bin Al-Walid had hardly left his side to rest after the end of the apostasy wars
2:51
Until the letter of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, came to him
2:56
He orders him to go to conquer Iraq
3:00
Extracting it from the hands of the Persians and bringing its people into the religion of God
3:05
But Khaled's soldiers had diminished and dispersed
3:10
Some of them were martyred in the brutal apostasy wars
3:14
He was released from them to his family after the covenant between him and them lasted for a long time
3:20
Only a small number of his large army remained with Khaled
3:25
So he wrote to Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq asking him for support
3:30
When Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, opened Khalid’s letter
3:34
He stopped at what was in it and said to those with him
3:38
Khalid bin Al-Walid is asking us for support
3:41
So they provided him with Al-Qaqa bin Omar
3:44
Those present opened their mouths in astonishment at what they heard and said
3:49
O Commander of the Faithful, seek a leader
3:53
Most of his soldiers were defeated by one man
3:56
The friend, may God be pleased with him, said
3:59
Yes, the voice of Al-Qaqa’ bin Omar in the army is better than a thousand knights
4:05
An army that contains Qaqa'a cannot be defeated
4:09
Khaled bin Al-Walid headed toward Iraq at the head of ten thousand of his soldiers
4:14
And with him was Al-Qaqa' bin Omar
4:17
Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, counted him as one thousand knights
4:22
His face was directed towards the Al-Hafeer area
4:25
Located close to the Persian Gulf
4:29
Next is the desert
4:31
Hormuz was the prince of this region by the Persian king
4:36
And Hormuz if you don't know
4:39
One of the few men who were honored by the Persians in his time
4:44
There is no evidence of his honor, which was greater than his cap, which was worth a hundred thousand
4:50
As it was the custom of the Persians
4:53
To make their caps according to their honor among their people
4:57
Whoever reaches the goal of honor
4:59
The value of his cap is one hundred thousand
5:02
However, Hormuz was one of the worst Persian princes in his treatment of the Arabs
5:07
The most arrogant of them
5:10
The Arabs hated the idea of Hormuz the most
5:13
Until they made him an example of evil
5:17
They used to say that their proverbs are more evil than Hormuz
5:21
And more than Hormuz
5:23
As soon as Khaled bin Al-Walid landed in the region
5:28
He even sent a letter to Hormuz saying:
5:32
As for after
5:34
So I accept Islam
5:36
Or choose for yourself and your people
5:38
And pay the tribute to the Muslims out of hand while you are subservient
5:43
Otherwise, you have no one to blame but yourself
5:46
I have brought to you a people who love death
5:49
As you love life
5:52
Hormuz's senses flew when he read Khalid bin Al-Walid's letter
5:56
He wrote to Azadshir, king of the Persians
5:59
He tells him that Muslims are coming to Iraq
6:02
Then he rose from his hour, closed his ranks, and gathered his crowd
6:07
He rushed them towards the water sources in Al-Hafeer
6:11
He descended on it before Khalid reached it with his army
6:15
When Khalid bin Al-Walid reached Al-Hafir
6:18
He ordered his soldiers to depart in a place he had chosen for them
6:23
Then a group of them stood up to him and said
6:26
Prince
6:28
Our enemy is on water and we are on non-water
6:32
We fear that we will die of thirst
6:35
Khaled said to them
6:37
Don't put your saddlebags where I ordered you
6:40
Then fight your enemy on the water, fighting the desperate
6:45
May my life become water so that I may be patient between the two groups and honor the two soldiers
6:51
You are the most patient and generous, God willing
6:54
The two soldiers lined up facing each other
6:58
Hormuz stood at the forefront of his army
7:01
He placed on his right a prince from the royal house
7:05
And to his north, another prince
7:08
He had harbored evil within himself
7:11
They beat his chest for his treachery
7:13
Hormuz was certain that if he could, he would kill Khalid bin Al-Walid
7:18
He will have traveled four-fifths of the way to victory
7:23
But he was certain that he could not kill him
7:29
As long as this is the case, let him kill him treacherously
7:33
Then let people talk about him whatever they want
7:37
And let them throw whatever they want at him
7:40
So he confided to a group of his elite knights what he had decided to do
7:46
And make the plan with them
7:48
Each of them was assigned a mission
7:51
Hormuz emerged from the ranks
7:54
He stood in the square separating the two soldiers
7:57
The defiant Tuff cheered him up and started saying
8:01
To me, Khaled, show me, Khaled
8:05
But he made his position close to the Persian camp
8:09
Away from the Muslim camp
8:12
As soon as Khaled bin Al-Walid heard his call
8:15
Until he got off his horse and went to meet him
8:19
However, Khaled hardly drew his sword to fight the enemy of God and his enemy
8:25
Until the men prepared by Hormuz jumped at him in one fell swoop
8:30
With their swords drawn in their hands, they want to kill him treacherously
8:35
And here the knight, whom the friend, may God be pleased with him, counted as a thousand knights, rose
8:41
And the arrow took off from the spot
8:44
He threw himself into the arena while saying:
8:47
Al-Qaqa bin Omar has come to you, O enemy of God
8:51
Al-Qaqaa has come to you
8:53
Then the thunderbolt was directed at Hormuz and his men
8:57
He was followed by the Amjad men of the Muslim army
9:02
A lightning battle took place between the two teams
9:06
During which Khaled took the spirit of Hormuz from his side
9:10
Al-Qaqaa and those with him defeated the treacherous group that tampered with the etiquette of war
9:16
They threw them lifeless bodies on the battlefield
9:20
On the mirror of the Persians and heard
9:23
None of them dared to move a finger
9:27
Then the Muslims attacked their enemy one time
9:32
They removed them from their positions
9:35
And they forced them to turn their backs
9:38
They threw them between dead, wounded and defeated
9:43
And when the battle ended
9:46
Khaled looked at Al-Qaqa bin Omar and said
9:50
May God have mercy on Abu Bakr, for he is more knowledgeable about men than we are
9:55
The Caliph of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was right when he said
10:00
An army containing Al-Qaqa' bin Omar cannot be defeated
10:05
The day of Al-Hafir was documented between Khalid bin Al-Walid and Al-Qaqa bin Omar
10:10
There is no surprise, as Khaled knew his friend’s position in the battlefields
10:16
And his singing when serious and distressing
10:21
He appointed him as leader and placed the heaviest tasks on his shoulders
10:27
He made him his right hand in Yarmouk and changed the day of Yarmouk
10:32
On the day of the conquest of Damascus, he had an adventure with him that he did not dare to enter
10:38
Except for those whose hearts are made of rock and whose minds are shaped from substance
10:45
On the day of the conquest of Damascus, Khalid bin Al-Walid was one of four commanders
10:50
They work under the command of Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah
10:55
Khaled is the commander-in-chief of the entire army
11:00
Or the commander of one of his battalions?
11:03
He was very keen to have Al-Qaqa’ bin Omar with him
11:09
This is because Khaled always aspired for him and those with him to perform miracles
11:16
Who is like Al-Qaqa bin Omar to perform miracles?
11:20
The city of Damascus was then surrounded by fortified walls on all sides
11:26
Surrounding the bracelet around the wrist
11:29
There was a deep ditch surrounding it on three sides
11:34
It had five doors
11:37
It opens during peacetime with sunshine every morning
11:41
For people to come out of it and into it
11:44
It closes every evening
11:48
Reassuring themselves and their money from thieves and thieves
11:53
If the ancient city was exposed to a gas invasion
11:57
Her mother-in-law closed her doors
12:00
They flooded its trench with water
12:02
So it is an impregnable island
12:05
Surrounded by fences and water at the same time
12:09
Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah distributed the gates of Damascus to himself and his commander
12:15
So he went down in front of the gate of Al-Jabiya
12:18
Omar bin Al-Aas descended in front of Thomas's door
12:21
Sharhabeel bin Hasna descended in front of the Paradise Gate
12:25
Yazid bin Abi Sufyan came down in front of the small door
12:29
As for Khard bin Al-Walid
12:32
So he and his companion, Al-Qaqa bin Omar, descended in front of the eastern gate
12:37
It was the most forbidden of these doors and the most powerful
12:41
The Muslims set up their trebuchets around the fortified city
12:47
They set up their tanks at its gates
12:50
The city's protectors responded with tank soldiers
12:54
Their forts were fixed to throw catapults
12:57
The Muslims did not find a way to force the enemy to surrender
13:02
Except the siege
13:04
But the siege of Damascus was prolonged
13:06
Until he reached seven months or so
13:10
It was not the distress of those besieged inside Damascus
13:13
Tighter than its confinement from the outside
13:17
Muslims have begun to wonder in what looks like despair
13:21
How and when can we open the city?
13:24
The answer came to them on the tongue of Khalid bin Al-Walid
13:28
His companion was Al-Qaqa’ bin Omar
13:31
Khaled bin Al-Walid had ears to hear everything that was said behind the walls of Damascus
13:37
And eyes that see everything that happens in them
13:40
One day his eyes suddenly said:
13:43
Prince
13:45
In the manner of Damascus, a child was born to him in old age
13:49
After a long wait
13:51
He was extremely happy with him
13:53
He was extremely happy
13:55
He called the city's protectors and soldiers
13:58
Tomorrow night to the Jaffla feast
14:01
They will eat delicious food
14:04
During which they drink old wines
14:07
And they sing until the morning
14:10
And you, Prince, must prepare for this opportunity
14:14
The inspiring leader initiated
14:17
So he made rope ladders
14:19
He prepared for this expedition a large number of weapons
14:24
The ropes are strong ropes
14:27
There is a noose on the head of each of them, which is threaded by the skilled archer
14:31
So he stuck to what you threw at him
14:34
When night fell, the universe was enveloped in darkness
14:38
Khaled said to his soldiers
14:40
We will rise to the wall
14:43
So if you hear our takbeer
14:45
Let a large group of you come up behind us
14:48
And let the rest of you flock to the door
14:51
Then he and Al-Qaqaa bin Omar departed
14:54
And a few of his companions
14:57
They crossed the ditch and floated closer
15:00
Until they reached the city walls
15:03
Then they threw their burdens away
15:05
They fixed them on the balconies of the wall
15:08
And they climbed on it until they were riding high
15:12
They set up the rope ladders they had outside the wall
15:16
For those who want to live up to it
15:18
And from inside it for those who want to go down to the city
15:22
Then Khaled grew up
15:24
So his soldiers crossed the trench
15:26
Then he and Al-Qaqaa bin Omar descended in front of the door
15:30
They killed his mother-in-law and opened his locks
15:34
God's soldiers poured into the city from above and below
15:38
They rushed into Damascus, cheering loudly
15:42
Panic and alarm spread throughout the fortified city
15:46
Her mother-in-law was overcome with confusion and panic
15:49
They consulted with each other
15:52
They decided to open the other gates of the city with their own hands
15:56
So that Muslims may enter it peacefully
15:58
Instead of entering into war
16:01
They kill the female fighter, take captive the offspring, and take the spoils
16:05
So they opened it
16:07
Even if they didn't
16:09
The Muslims opened it with victory from God
16:12
And to another meeting with Al-Qaqaa bin Omar
16:16
Who laid down his life, his sword, and his spear
16:19
In obedience to God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
16:23
He made his bed on the backs of horses
16:27
The voice of Al-Qaqa bin Omar is in the army
16:35
Better than a thousand knights
16:38
Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq
