0:00 Stop.

0:03 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them.

0:12 A new challenge: Who am I?

0:16 I am one of the Companions, from the masters of Makkah.

0:23 I was the leader of the Quraysh caravan that fled on the day of Badr.

0:29 I was the head of Quraysh and their commander on the day of Uhud and the day of the Trench.

0:35 I had my share of errors and difficult matters.

0:39 But Allah reached me with His mercy and grace.

0:43 I embraced Islam on the day of the Conquest, somewhat compelled and afraid.

0:48 Then, my Islam became sincere and excellent.

0:50 I was one of the shrewd men of the Arabs.

0:53 And I was among those of sound judgment and nobility among them.

0:56 I witnessed the battle of Hunayn.

0:58 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave me from the spoils.

1:03 One hundred camels.

1:05 And forty ounces of gold.

1:08 Seeking to reconcile my heart thereby.

1:10 And after my conversion to Islam.

1:14 I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

1:18 The battle of Ta'if.

1:20 My eye was gouged out on that day.

1:22 Then the other was gouged out on the day of Yarmouk.

1:26 Yet I did not abandon jihad.

1:28 I would go out with the armies while I was blind.

1:32 I would incite the battalions and say:

1:35 "Allah! Allah!"

1:37 "You are the supporters of Islam."

1:40 "And the protectors of the Arabs."

1:42 "And those are the supporters of polytheism and the protectors of the Romans."

1:46 "O Allah, this is one of Your days."

1:50 "O Allah, send down Your victory."

1:53 "O victory of Allah, draw near."

1:57 The Prophet, peace be upon him, married.

2:00 My daughter, Umm Habibah.

2:03 And thus I became his father-in-law, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

2:08 So, who am I?

2:25 They followed the generations in their stances and examples.

2:30 They followed the Messenger whether he strove or spoke.

2:35 They were here, watering the clouds of our lives.

2:40 So their memory rises high among us.

2:45 They departed and cast a question into the conscience.

2:50 Has any star risen and shone like them?

2:55 They filled life with glories through their deeds.

3:00 And the world of mankind flourished with their guidance.
