0:12 A new challenge: Who am I?

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

0:23 I am among the foremost of those who were the first to embrace Islam.

0:27 While I was in my homeland of Dumat al-Jandal, I heard of the Prophet’s mission.

0:34 And of his call in Makkah.

0:36 So I traveled to him.

0:38 I heard from him and accepted Islam.

0:40 Then I returned to my people to call them to Islam.

0:44 A group of my people embraced the faith.

0:47 Later, I migrated to Madinah.

0:49 I missed the Battle of Badr.

0:52 But I witnessed the Battle of Uhud and all subsequent campaigns with the Prophet.

1:01 I was among the most handsome of people and the most pleasant in appearance.

1:05 My name was used as a proverb for good looks and physical beauty.

1:10 The angel Gabriel, peace be upon him, would sometimes descend in my likeness.

1:17 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me with a letter to Caesar, the King of Rome.

1:24 His name was Heraclius.

1:26 I stood at his gate.

1:28 I said, "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah."

1:34 They were alarmed by this.

1:36 I entered his presence and delivered the letter to him.

1:40 Heraclius questioned me about the Prophet.

1:45 Until the truth of his prophethood was established for him.

1:49 He intended to embrace Islam.

1:51 But the Romans did not agree with him.

1:53 And he feared for his kingdom because of them.

1:55 So he held back and did not accept Islam.

1:59 So, who am I?

2:21 They followed the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.

2:26 They were here, watering our lives like rain clouds.

2:31 They passed on, yet their memory remains exalted among us.

2:36 They departed and left a question in the conscience.

2:41 Is there any star like them that has risen and shone?

2:46 They filled life with glories through their deeds.

2:51 And the world of the self flourished because of them.
