Stop.
0:04
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.
0:12
A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Ansar.
0:24
I embraced Islam early on and participated in every battle alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:31
I had many exploits and encounters with him in his battles.
0:35
On the day of Uhud, the Prophet, peace be upon him, drew his sword and said:
0:41
"Who will take this sword from me?"
0:44
The Companions stretched out their hands to him, each of them saying, "I will, I will."
0:50
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Who will take it with its due right?"
0:57
The people hesitated.
0:59
I asked, "And what is its right, O Messenger of Allah?"
1:03
He replied, "That you strike the polytheists with it until it bends."
1:08
I said, "I will take it with its due right, O Messenger of Allah."
1:13
I took it and proceeded until I reached the space between the two lines.
1:18
I took out a red headband and tied it around my head.
1:23
I began to strut proudly on my horse between the two lines.
1:27
And I said:
1:29
"I am the one to whom my beloved pledged,
1:32
While we were at the foot of the palm grove,
1:35
That I would not stand in the rear ranks forever,
1:38
Striking with the sword of Allah and His Messenger."
1:42
The people of the Ansar said:
1:44
"By Allah, he has brought out the headband of death."
1:48
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said when he saw me walking arrogantly between the lines:
1:55
"It is a gait that Allah and His Messenger dislike,
1:58
Except in this situation."
2:01
When the fighting broke out,
2:04
I struck with the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:08
The heads of the polytheists.
2:10
I would not encounter any of them but that I killed him,
2:14
Except for one person.
2:17
I raised the sword to strike her,
2:19
But she screamed,
2:20
And it turned out to be a woman.
2:22
So I spared her, out of honor for the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:28
That I should kill a woman with it.
2:30
When the tide of the battle turned,
2:34
And the Muslims were defeated,
2:36
And the polytheists surrounded the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:41
I came to him and shielded him with my back,
2:44
Receiving the arrows and spears on his behalf,
2:47
Until my back became like a hedgehog.
2:52
I lived with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:55
Ascetic in this world,
2:57
Desiring nothing of it,
2:59
Concerned only with my affairs and preparing for the Hereafter.
3:03
I fell ill one day,
3:05
And some of my companions came to visit me.
3:09
They said:
3:10
"Why do we see your face beaming with light?"
3:14
I replied:
3:15
"That is because there is no deed more reliable to me than two things:
3:20
I do not speak about what does not concern me,
3:24
And I have kept my heart pure toward the Muslims."
3:28
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
3:32
I fought the apostates alongside the Caliph Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him.
3:38
In the Battle of Yamama,
3:40
I climbed the wall,
3:42
And stormed the garden upon the apostates.
3:45
I fell to the ground,
3:47
And my leg was broken.
3:49
Yet I continued to fight with my leg broken,
3:51
Until the enemies were defeated.
3:54
Then I saw Musaylimah the Liar,
3:57
So I went up to him with my sword and struck him.
4:00
Wahshi, may Allah be pleased with him, also threw a spear at him and hit him,
4:05
So Allah knows best which of us killed him.
4:08
Then a man from Banu Hanifah threw a spear at me that struck my heart,
4:15
My soul departed,
4:17
And I fell as a martyr on the battlefield.
4:21
So who am I?
