0:12 A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16 I am the grandson of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his beloved flower.
0:24 I am the master of the youth of Paradise.
0:28 I am among those who most resemble the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:33 He, peace be upon him, loved me dearly.
0:37 He would urge people to love me.
0:40 For he once said while I was before him:
0:44 "O Allah, I love him."
0:47 "So love him, and love those who love him."
0:51 Once, I took a date from the dates of charity.
0:56 I put it in my mouth.
0:59 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me:
1:03 "Kakh, kakh! Throw it away."
1:06 "Do you not know that we do not consume charity?"
1:10 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to take me with him to the mosque.
1:16 I would climb onto his back while he was prostrating.
1:19 Or I would come to him while he was bowing.
1:22 He would spread his legs for me so that I could pass through to the other side.
1:29 Once, the Prophet, peace be upon him, placed me down.
1:34 Then he said the takbir and began the prayer.
1:37 I climbed onto his back while he was prostrating.
1:40 He prolonged his prostration.
1:42 When he finished his prayer,
1:44 They said, "O Messenger of Allah, you prolonged your prostration."
1:49 He replied, "This son of mine rode upon me."
1:53 "I disliked rushing him until he had satisfied his need."
1:58 One day, I entered the mosque,
2:00 And my grandfather, peace be upon him, was delivering a sermon.
2:04 When he saw me,
2:06 He descended and carried me up with him onto the pulpit.
2:10 He said, "This son of mine is a leader."
2:14 "Through him, Allah will reconcile two groups of Muslims."
2:19 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, taught me,
2:22 Words to say during the Witr prayer:
2:26 "O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided."
2:29 "Grant me well-being among those whom You have granted well-being."
2:32 "Take me into Your care among those whom You have taken into Your care."
2:35 "Bless for me what You have given."
2:38 "And protect me from the evil of what You have decreed."
2:41 "For You decree, and none can decree against You."
2:45 "Indeed, he whom You befriend is never humiliated."
2:48 "And he whom You oppose is never honored."
2:51 "Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted."
2:54 I performed Hajj fifteen times.
2:58 In most of them, I performed Hajj on foot,
3:02 While my mounts were led before me.
3:05 So, who am I?
3:21 The best of generations in their stances and examples.
3:26 They followed the Messenger in all he strove for or said.
3:31 They were here, watering the clouds of our lives.
3:36 So how could their memory not be exalted among us?
3:42 They departed, leaving a question in the conscience:
3:47 Has any star ever risen and shone like them?
3:52 They filled life with glories through their deeds.
3:57 And the world of humanity flourished because of them.
