Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the most eminent among them.

A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am a Companion from the Azd Ghamid tribe.
0:23
I migrated to Medina and met the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:29
I attained the honor of his companionship and of striving in jihad alongside him.
0:32
I became known as the "Slayer of the Sorcerer."
0:35
This is because a governor in Iraq had a sorcerer who would play with people’s minds.
0:43
The sorcerer would strike a man’s head,
0:46
then call out to him, and the man would stand up,
0:49
and his head would return to him.
0:52
He would then show them how he would strike his own head,
0:55
throw it away,
0:56
run to retrieve it,
0:58
and place it back in its position.
1:01
The people would exclaim,
1:03
"Subhan Allah!
1:05
He brings the dead to life!"
1:07
The sorcerer would also enter the mouth of a camel,
1:11
then emerge from its rear,
1:13
and enter the rear of a donkey,
1:16
only to emerge from its mouth.
1:18
When I saw this from the sorcerer,
1:21
and witnessed the people being led into fitnah by him,
1:23
I stood up and took my sword,
1:25
then approached the sorcerer.
1:28
I sought refuge in Allah from the Shaytan,
1:31
then struck him a single blow and killed him.
1:35
I said, "If he is truthful,
1:39
let him bring himself back to life."
1:41
I then said, "Do you approach sorcery
1:44
while you are watching?"
1:46
The governor became angry with me,
1:49
and ordered the guards to imprison me.
1:52
While I was in prison,
1:54
the warden came to me;
1:57
he had been impressed by what I had done,
2:00
so he released me and said,
2:02
"Go, for Allah will never hold me accountable for you."
2:07
So, who am I?

2:23
The best of generations in their stances and examples,
2:29
following the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.
2:34
They were here, watering the clouds of our lives,
2:39
and through their stances, their memory is exalted.
2:44
They departed, leaving a question in our conscience:
2:49
Has any star risen and shone like them?
2:54
They filled life with glories through their deeds,
2:59
and the world of the Ummah flourished because of them.
