In the name of Allah, the first ambassador.
0:04
The hadith of the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:11
represents, in brief,
0:13
the civilizational shift in the lives of the Arabs
0:17
when they believed in Allah as Lord,
0:20
in Islam as a religion,
0:22
and in Muhammad as a Messenger.
0:25
As for the other hero,
0:27
who navigated the experience of success with great competence,
0:31
he is the first ambassador of Islam,
0:34
Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr.
0:37
Ah,
0:39
how profound is my admiration for the personality of this noble young man.
0:45
It is recorded in the Mustadrak of al-Hakim:
0:49
Abu 'Abdullah al-Asbahani narrated to us,
0:52
al-Hasan ibn Jahm narrated to us,
0:55
al-Husayn ibn al-Faraj narrated to us,
0:58
Muhammad ibn 'Umar narrated to us,
1:00
Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-'Abdari narrated to me,
1:04
from his father, who said:
1:06
Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr was
1:09
the youth of Makkah in terms of vitality and beauty.
1:12
His parents loved him dearly,
1:15
and his mother would clothe him in the finest and most delicate of garments.
1:21
He was the most fragrant of the people of Makkah.
1:25
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would mention him and say:
1:31
"I have never seen in Makkah anyone with more beautiful hair,
1:36
nor anyone more refined or well-provided for than Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr."
1:41
Indeed, the role of Mus'ab
1:43
consisted of preparing Tayyibah al-Tayyibah (Madinah)
1:47
to receive life, glory, and history.
1:52
I keep telling you
1:55
that the first ambassador of Islam
1:57
was not like any other young man living in this life.
2:03
I write to you now,
2:05
with tears overcoming me,
2:08
for a fleeting glance at the book Usd al-Ghabah by Ibn al-Athir
2:14
is enough to let Mus'ab enter our hearts without permission.
