A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from the tribe of Ghifar.
0:24
I embraced Islam after the Prophet, peace be upon him, arrived in Medina.
0:29
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud with him.
0:32
On that day, I was struck by an arrow in my throat.
0:35
I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:39
He spat on the site of the arrow wound.
0:42
I was healed.
0:43
Thus, I was called "al-Manhur" (the one struck in the throat).
0:47
The Prophet, peace be upon him, appointed me as his deputy over Medina twice.
0:52
Once during the 'Umrat al-Qada'.
0:55
And once during the year of the Conquest of Mecca.
0:58
I witnessed the Pledge of Ridwan.
1:00
And I pledged allegiance under the tree.
1:03
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, intended to set out for Tabuk.
1:08
He sent me to my people, the Ghifar.
1:11
To mobilize them to join him.
1:13
And to meet their enemy in Tabuk.
1:17
I came to them in their homes.
1:19
I conveyed to them the command of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:24
And I urged them to set out.
1:27
So they mobilized with me.
1:28
A large group of them witnessed the expedition of Tabuk.
1:32
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, was on his way back.
1:37
He traveled with us by night.
1:40
I was traveling close to him.
1:42
Drowsiness overcame me.
1:44
I began to doze off while on my mount.
1:48
Then I would wake up.
1:50
My mount had drawn near to the mount of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:55
Its proximity to him would startle me.
1:57
For fear that I might harm the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:01
So I would steer my mount away from him.
2:04
Until my eyes overcame me during a part of the night.
2:07
I was wearing thick sandals.
2:11
My camel crowded the camel of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:16
The edge of my sandal struck the leg of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:22
It caused him pain.
2:24
He, peace be upon him, said:
2:27
"Ouch! You have hurt me, pull your leg back."
2:31
And he struck my leg with his whip.
2:33
I said:
2:35
"Seek forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah."
2:38
I was deeply troubled by what I had done.
2:40
I feared that a Qur'anic verse might be revealed regarding me due to the gravity of my action.
2:46
When morning came.
2:48
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked for me.
2:52
I came to him, trembling with fear.
2:56
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
2:59
"You hurt me with your leg last night."
3:03
"So I struck you with the whip and hurt you."
3:06
"Take these sheep as compensation for my striking you."
3:10
I saw contentment on his face, peace be upon him.
3:15
By Allah, his being pleased with me.
3:18
Was more beloved to me than the world and everything in it.
