Learn about the companions, scholars, and notables | Who am I?

0:00 Stop.

0:03 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most exalted.

0:12 A serious challenge: who am I?

0:16 I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

0:23 I embraced Islam early on.

0:25 I witnessed the Battle of the Trench.

0:27 And the battles that followed alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.

0:32 I used to walk behind the army during battles.

0:35 I would collect any army equipment that fell from them.

0:40 We were returning from the expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq.

0:44 The Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, was in our company.

0:48 We stopped at a certain point along the way.

0:51 The Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, went off.

0:55 She was searching for a necklace of hers that she had lost.

0:58 Meanwhile.

1:00 The people prepared to depart.

1:02 They carried her litter, assuming she was inside it.

1:05 For she was light and small.

1:08 She was only twelve years old.

1:11 They tied the litter onto the camel and set off.

1:14 As for her, she had found her necklace.

1:17 But when she returned.

1:20 She found that the people had already departed.

1:23 So she sat in her place and said.

1:26 "They will notice my absence and return for me."

1:29 While she was sitting in her place.

1:32 Her eyes grew heavy and she fell asleep.

1:35 As for me.

1:38 I was walking behind the army as usual.

1:41 I passed by their location and saw.

1:44 The silhouette of a person, so I approached it.

1:47 It was the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

1:50 I had seen her before the hijab was ordained.

1:53 So I said.

1:56 “Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning.” (2:156)

1:59 I did not utter anything else.

2:02 She woke up at the sound of my saying "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un."

2:05 She covered her face with her jilbab.

2:08 By Allah, we did not speak a single word.

2:11 I made my camel kneel for her, and she mounted it.

2:14 I walked, leading the camel.

2:17 Until we caught up with the people while they were resting during the midday heat.

2:20 When the hypocrites saw us.

2:23 They spoke the slander.

2:26 And accused us falsely.

2:29 They said, "By Allah, she was not safe from him."

2:32 "And he was not safe from her."

2:36 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, defended me.

2:39 He refuted the accusation against me.

2:42 And spoke well of me.

2:45 He stood up to deliver a sermon.

2:48 He praised Allah and extolled Him as He deserves.

2:52 "O people, advise me regarding some people."

2:55 "Who have accused my family of evil."

2:58 "By Allah, I have never known anything but good in my family."

3:01 "And they have accused them of a man."

3:04 "By Allah, I have never known anything but good in him."

3:07 "He never entered my house except when I was present."

3:10 "And I never went on a journey."

3:13 "Except that he accompanied me."

3:16 The people spoke and argued among themselves.

3:19 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, remained silent.

3:22 And he silenced them.

3:25 We remained in this state for a month.

3:28 While the people of the slander spoke against our honor.

3:31 Until Allah revealed our innocence.

3:34 In His Noble Book.

3:37 In verses from Surah al-Nur.

3:40 Which will be recited until the Day of Judgment.

3:44 So, who am I?

3:51 The correct answer is in the comments.

3:54 Upon the release of the next episode.

3:57 If Allah wills.

4:01 The best of generations in their conduct and example.

4:04 They followed the Messenger in all he strove for or said.

4:07 They followed the Messenger in all he strove for or said.

4:10 They were here, watering the clouds of our lives.

4:13 They were here, watering the clouds of our lives.

4:16 Their memory lives on within us, exalted.

4:20 They departed and left a question in our conscience.

4:23 They departed and left a question in our conscience.

4:26 Is there a star like them that has risen and shone?

4:29 They filled life with glories.

4:32 Glories through their deeds.

4:35 And the world of the people flourished because of them.

4:38 And the world of the people flourished because of them.
