A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:22
I am an ally of the Ansar and one of the knights of Islam.
0:27
I was among those who hastened to do good deeds.
0:30
And those who raced toward the everlasting righteous works.
0:33
And those who sacrificed their lives and wealth for the sake of Allah.
0:39
I embraced Islam when Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, may Allah be pleased with him, arrived in Medina.
0:44
We were sitting with the Prophet, peace be upon him, one day.
0:49
A man came and said:
0:52
"O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has a palm tree."
0:56
"I want to build a wall around my orchard."
0:59
"But the wall would encroach upon his palm tree."
1:02
"So order him to give me the palm tree."
1:05
"So that I may complete the wall of my orchard with it."
1:08
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to the man who owned the palm tree:
1:15
"Give it to him."
1:17
"And you shall have a palm tree in Paradise in return for it."
1:20
The man refused, then stood up and left.
1:24
I stood up behind him and said to him:
1:27
"Sell me your palm tree for my entire orchard."
1:30
I had a large orchard.
1:32
It contained six hundred palm trees.
1:35
The man agreed.
1:37
I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and said:
1:41
"O Messenger of Allah."
1:43
"I have purchased the palm tree in exchange for my orchard."
1:46
"So grant it to him."
1:48
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was pleased.
1:52
And he gave me the glad tidings of a heavy-laden branch in Paradise.
1:56
The heavy-laden branch is a palm tree branch.
2:00
It is heavy with its load due to the abundance of its fruit.
2:03
I went to my wife while she was in the orchard.
2:06
I said to her:
2:08
"Leave the orchard, and bring the children out."
2:12
"For I have sold it for a palm tree in Paradise."
2:15
She said:
2:17
"A profitable trade."
2:19
Then she went to our children, taking out the dates from their mouths.
2:24
And shaking out what was in their sleeves.
2:29
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:34
When the Muslims were defeated.
2:37
And it was rumored that the Prophet, peace be upon him, had been killed.
2:42
I began to shout at the top of my voice:
2:45
"O company of the Ansar!"
2:47
"If Muhammad has been killed."
2:50
"Then Allah is Ever-Living and does not die."
2:53
"So fight for your religion."
2:55
"For Allah will grant you victory and support you."
2:59
A group of the Ansar rose to join me.
3:02
We attacked the polytheists.
3:04
A rough battalion stood against us.
3:07
We fought them.
3:10
Until I was struck and fell wounded on the battlefield.
3:15
Then I recovered from my wounds.
3:17
And I passed away after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
3:20
The Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed the funeral prayer over me.
3:24
Then a horse was brought, and he mounted it.
3:27
He followed my funeral procession.
3:29
With the Companions hurrying behind him.
3:32
He, peace be upon him, said:
3:35
"How many a heavy-laden branch does he have in Paradise!"
3:40
So, who am I?
