By Professor Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Qarni.

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
0:52
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) set out.
0:54
A year before the passing of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
0:59
On a trading journey to Busra.
1:01
Accompanied by Nu'ayman Ibn 'Amr al-Ansari.
1:05
And Suwaybit Ibn Harmala.
1:07
Both of whom had participated in the Battle of Badr.
1:10
Suwaybit Ibn Harmala was in charge of the provisions.
1:13
Nu'ayman Ibn 'Amr was a man of humor.
1:17
He said to Suwaybit, "Feed me."
1:21
Suwaybit replied, "I will not feed you until Abu Bakr arrives."
1:26
Nu'ayman then said to Suwaybit,
1:28
"I will surely anger you."
1:30
They passed by some people.
1:32
Nu'ayman said to them,
1:35
"Will you buy a slave from me?"
1:37
They replied, "Yes."
1:39
He said, "He is a slave who has a sharp tongue,
1:43
and he will say to you,
1:45
'I am not a slave,
1:47
I am a cousin of his.'
1:49
If, when he says this to you, you leave him,
1:52
then do not buy him,
1:54
and do not spoil my slave for me."
1:56
They said, "No,
1:58
we will buy him and pay no heed to what he says."
2:01
So they bought him from him for ten young she-camels.
2:05
Then they came to take him.
2:07
He resisted them.
2:09
So they placed a turban around his neck.
2:12
He said to them,
2:13
"He is only joking,
2:15
I am not his slave."
2:17
They replied,
2:18
"We have already been told your story,"
2:20
and they did not listen to his words.
2:22
Then Abu Bakr arrived,
2:24
and was informed of the situation.
2:26
He followed the people,
2:28
and informed them that he was only joking.
2:30
He returned the she-camels to them,
2:33
and took Suwaybit back from them.
2:36
When they arrived at the Prophet (peace be upon him),
2:40
they told him the story.
2:42
He and his Companions laughed about it for a year.
2:47
A Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace be upon him),
2:51
entered the mosque,
2:53
and tethered his camel in the courtyard.
2:56
Some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) said
3:00
to Nu'ayman Ibn 'Amr al-Ansari,
3:03
"If only you would slaughter it so we could eat,
3:06
for we have been craving meat,
3:09
and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) will pay its price."
3:14
So Nu'ayman slaughtered it.
3:17
Then the Bedouin came out,
3:19
saw his mount,
3:21
and cried out,
3:22
"O my camel! O Muhammad!"
3:25
The Prophet (peace be upon him) came out and asked,
3:29
"Who did this?"
3:31
They said,
3:32
"Nu'ayman."
3:34
He followed him to ask about him,
3:36
and found him in the house of Duba'a bint al-Zubayr Ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib,
3:41
hidden in a trench,
3:44
covered with palm branches and fronds.
3:47
A man pointed to him,
3:49
and raised his voice saying,
3:51
"I have not seen him, O Messenger of Allah,"
3:54
while pointing his finger toward his location.
3:57
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) brought him out,
4:02
his face changed by the palm fronds that had fallen on him.
4:06
He asked him,
4:08
"What led you to do what you did?"
4:10
He replied,
4:12
"Those who guided you to me, O Messenger of Allah,
4:15
are the ones who ordered me to do it."
4:18
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) began to wipe his face and laugh.
4:24
Then he (peace be upon him) paid for the camel.
4:29
I have only shared this story with you
4:32
so that you may know that with every tear there is a smile,
4:35
with every pain there is joy,
4:38
and with every wound there is humor.
