0:01 Stop.

0:04 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

0:12 A new challenge: Who am I?

0:16 I am one of the female Companions who migrated.

0:21 I am of the Hashimite clan of the Quraysh.

0:24 I married a Hashimite man of the Quraysh.

0:27 He is Abu Talib, the uncle of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

0:32 I bore him Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, and his siblings.

0:37 I was the first Hashimite woman to give birth to a Hashimite child.

0:41 And I was the first Hashimite woman to give birth to a caliph.

0:46 I was a righteous, noble woman of high character.

0:50 I was among the patient, believing women.

0:53 I held a great place in the heart of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

0:59 When Abd al-Muttalib, the grandfather of the Prophet, peace be upon him, passed away,

1:04 he entrusted my husband, Abu Talib, with the guardianship of Muhammad, peace be upon him.

1:10 So, Abu Talib brought him into our home with our children.

1:14 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was raised in my house.

1:19 I took care of him alongside my own children.

1:23 I was to him like a mother and a guardian.

1:27 I was the tender hand that embraced him along with my own children.

1:31 I nurtured him for nearly two decades of his life.

1:35 The Prophet, peace be upon him, considered me his mother.

1:40 He would call me, "My mother."

1:43 I loved him as I loved my own sons.

1:46 Indeed, I took pride in his virtuous character.

1:49 When the Prophet, peace be upon him, chose

1:53 my son Ali to live with him in his house,

1:56 I was pleased by that.

1:58 I advised my son to be influenced by the character of Muhammad, peace be upon him,

2:03 and to follow in his footsteps.

2:06 That was before the mission of the Prophet.

2:09 I accepted Islam after the death of my husband, Abu Talib.

2:12 Then I migrated to Medina.

2:15 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to visit me.

2:19 He would take a midday nap in my house.

2:22 And upon my death,

2:24 he, peace be upon him, shrouded me in his own shirt.

2:28 He descended into my grave and leveled it with his own hands.

2:32 So, who am I?
