A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am the paternal aunt of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:22
And the sister of Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:25
The Lion of Allah and His Messenger.
0:27
And the mother of al-Zubayr, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:30
The disciple of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
0:34
I am the only one among the paternal aunts of the Prophet, peace be upon him, who embraced Islam.
0:40
I was known for my patience and fortitude.
0:43
I raised my children to be resilient, chivalrous, and heroic.
0:50
I migrated to Medina.
0:52
I participated alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him, in his military expeditions.
0:57
On the day of Uhud,
0:59
I went out with the Muslims.
1:01
I carried water,
1:03
quenched the thirst of the thirsty,
1:04
and sharpened arrows.
1:06
After the battle ended,
1:08
news reached me of the martyrdom of my brother Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him,
1:12
and that his body had been mutilated.
1:14
I came to see him,
1:16
but the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said
1:19
to my son al-Zubayr:
1:21
"Meet your mother and send her back,
1:24
so she does not see what has been done to her brother."
1:26
My son al-Zubayr met me
1:29
and said,
1:30
"O mother,
1:32
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:35
commands you to return."
1:37
I replied,
1:38
"And why?
1:40
It has reached me that my brother has been mutilated,
1:43
and that was for the sake of Allah.
1:45
I shall seek reward from Allah for him,
1:47
and I shall be patient, if Allah wills."
1:50
This was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:54
and he said,
1:56
"Let her be."
1:58
So I went to my brother Hamza,
2:00
looked at him,
2:02
recited the prayer of patience (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un) and prayed for his forgiveness.
2:05
Then he was buried.
2:08
During the Battle of the Trench,
2:10
I was in the fortress of Fari'.
2:12
With the women and children.
2:14
A man from the Jews passed by us,
2:17
and he began circling the fortress
2:19
to see if there were any fighters inside.
2:23
This was after the tribe of Banu Qurayza had turned hostile
2:26
and severed the treaties
2:30
they had with the Messenger of Allah.
2:32
There was no one with us in the fortress
2:35
to defend us,
2:37
as the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:40
and the Muslims were facing the enemy head-on.
2:43
When I saw that,
2:45
I prepared myself and took a wooden pole.
2:48
Then I descended from the fortress toward him,
2:51
struck him with the pole until I killed him,
2:54
then I severed his head
2:56
and threw it at the Jews.
2:58
When they saw what had befallen their companion,
3:01
they said,
3:03
"We knew that Muhammad
3:05
would not have left the people of the fortress
3:07
without anyone to protect them."
3:09
So they dispersed.
3:11
I was the first woman
3:13
to kill a man from the polytheists.
3:16
So, who am I?
3:33
If Allah wills.
