In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:15
Mawaddah Association is pleased
0:17
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
0:22
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha
0:25
May God have mercy on him
0:30
The cult of Ibn al-Sad
0:32
May God be pleased with him
0:50
My friends this time
0:52
Ansari Aqbi Badri
0:55
And these three deeds are sufficient for you
0:58
Or an attribute of exaltation and pride in this world
1:01
And evidence of God’s satisfaction and comfort in the afterlife
1:05
As for his father, he was called Al-Samit
1:09
As for his mother, she was called Qurrat al-Ayn
1:13
As for him, people used to call him Ibadah
1:17
Who among us Muslims does not know the worship of Ibn al-Samit
1:22
He is one of the righteous and pure people who sheltered and helped
1:27
He is one of the seventy-three who pledged allegiance to Aqaba
1:32
He is one of the Badrians to whom God Almighty appeared
1:38
He said, “Do whatever you want, for I have forgiven you.”
1:42
If you add to that
1:44
It is the fifth of five collections of the Qur’an during the era of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:50
I achieved my ultimate goal
1:53
It brought him to the finest wealth and the highest levels
1:57
Ubadah Ibn al-Samit spent his life as a mujahid, worshipper, and teacher
2:03
On the battlefields, he was a commanding lion
2:07
In the stillness of the night, he was seeking shelter
2:12
It was during times of peace
2:14
He teaches Muslims the Book of God
2:17
He gives them understanding of the religion of God
2:20
After God opened the lands of Damascus to the Muslims
2:25
They wanted to open minds and hearts
2:28
They also opened strongholds and fortresses
2:31
So the Emir of Damascus wrote to the Caliph of the Muslims, Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, saying:
2:38
Muslims in the Levant have increased
2:42
They needed someone to teach them the Qur’an
2:45
He makes them understand the religion of God
2:47
So, O Commander of the Faithful, I mean men who teach them
2:51
So he called Omar, may God be pleased with him
2:54
To mobilize the five who compiled the Qur’an during the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:00
They are Ubadah ibn al-Samit
3:03
And Moaz bin Jabal
3:05
And Ubayy bin Ka'b
3:07
And Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari
3:09
And Abu Darda
3:11
May God be pleased with them all
3:13
He rewarded them on behalf of the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the most generous reward
3:19
When they were in his hands
3:21
He told them that your brothers are from the Levant
3:25
They sought help from someone who taught them the Qur’an
3:28
He makes them understand what is permissible and what is forbidden
3:31
So help me, may God have mercy on you, with three of you
3:35
If you like, ask for contributions
3:38
They said: We would not have forgotten them, O Commander of the Faithful
3:42
Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari is a great sheikh
3:45
Ubayy ibn Ka'b is a sick man
3:48
And the three of us stayed
3:51
Omar, may God be pleased with him and them, directed them
3:55
To the lands of Damascus
3:57
Ubadah ibn al-Samit resided in Homs
4:00
Abu Darda stayed in Damascus
4:03
Moaz bin Jabal settled in Palestine
4:06
It was Ubadah ibn al-Samit
4:08
When the Messenger pledged allegiance, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
4:11
On the night of Aqaba
4:13
He pledged his allegiance to listen and obey
4:16
And to tell the truth wherever it is
4:19
And not to fear God if he is compatible
4:22
When he saw the prince of the Levant
4:25
Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, may God be pleased with him
4:28
Unless he himself is comfortable with it
4:30
He reviewed what he saw and denounced it
4:33
Muawiyah did not accept his opinion
4:36
He called him to obey him
4:38
Ubadah got angry and said
4:41
By God, I will not live with you in the same land
4:44
He returned to the city
4:47
When he came to Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
4:51
He said to him: How old are you, O Ubadah?
4:54
So he informed him of the dispute that had occurred between him and Muawiyah
4:59
He said, “Go back to your place.”
5:02
May God bless the land where there are neither you nor people like you
5:06
Then he wrote to Muawiyah saying:
5:09
You have no command over Ubadah ibn al-Samit
5:12
But he is the prince himself
5:15
Then Omar bin Al-Asim went to Egypt as a conqueror
5:19
It was subject to Roman rule
5:22
He began editing its blogs and readings
5:25
Until the Babylonian fortress eluded him
5:28
Located on the bank of the Nile
5:31
Near Cairo today
5:33
This was the reason why the fort was difficult to reach
5:37
The Romans dug a large trench around it
5:41
They fixed the roads leading to it with iron railings
5:45
To hinder men and horses from advancing towards him
5:49
They loaded him with soldiers and equipment
5:52
They transferred their statesmen to him
5:55
The great Copts are from the people of Egypt
5:57
Among them is Al-Muqawqis
5:59
Patriarch of Egypt and its ruler
6:02
Omar bin Al-Aas besieged the fort
6:04
Hoping that his father-in-law would be fed up with the siege
6:08
They surrender to him
6:10
However, the Nile soon emptied
6:13
The Romans blew up the dams and cut the bridges
6:16
The water surrounded the Muslims from all sides
6:20
They almost died by drowning
6:22
Then Omar bin Al-Aas wrote
6:25
To the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
6:28
To help him with assistance from him
6:31
So Omar rushed to supply him
6:33
With four thousand Muslim soldiers
6:36
He appointed a leader over every thousand
6:39
He takes the place of Alif
6:41
They are Ubadah ibn al-Samit
6:43
And Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam
6:45
And Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad
6:47
And Muslima bin Mukhlid
6:49
Al-Muqawqis taught about mudad
6:52
Who reached the Muslim army
6:54
So he sent to Omar bin Al-Aas
6:56
A delegation of his best men
6:58
Let them exchange it
7:00
He commanded them to stand up for him
7:02
On the conditions of Muslims
7:04
And to convey an accurate picture of him
7:07
clear about their lives
7:09
As if he saw it himself
7:12
So the men of the delegation died
7:14
In the hospitality of Muslims for three nights
7:17
When they returned
7:18
Al-Muqawqis asked them
7:20
About what they saw and what they heard
7:22
And they said
7:23
We have seen people, by God
7:26
Death is more desirable to them than life
7:29
And more beloved to them than high status
7:31
They sit on the dirt
7:33
And eat them on the knees
7:35
Their prince as one of them
7:38
Their master does not know from their draft
7:41
Nor are the high among them the lowliest
7:44
If prayer is performed
7:46
None of them left behind
7:49
They wash their limbs and faces with water
7:52
They submit to their Lord in prayer
7:55
Al-Muqawqis said
7:57
By God, if these people were facing the mountains
8:00
They would have removed it
8:02
If they had attacked the jinn, they would have annihilated them
8:05
As if Al-Muqawqis wanted it
8:07
To see with his own eyes
8:09
What his men told him
8:11
So he wrote to Omar bin Al-Asi saying:
8:14
Send us messengers from your side
8:16
Let us negotiate with them and make a treaty with them
8:19
So he sent ten of his men to him
8:22
He ordered them to worship Ibn al-Samit
8:25
The cult of Ibn al-Samit was a tall man of great importance
8:29
Very thick hair
8:32
It fills the eye of its beholder with awe and magnificence
8:35
When Al-Muqawqis came forward
8:38
He has the greatest prestige
8:40
A great fear entered his soul
8:43
He said to the men of the delegation
8:46
Get away from this man
8:48
They brought someone else to talk to me
8:51
They said: This is our prince
8:54
Omar bin Al-Asi entrusted us with this
8:57
Not to get ahead of him
8:59
And not to disobey his order
9:01
Al-Muqawqis said to Ubada
9:04
Come to me, man
9:06
And he spoke to me gently
9:08
I fear your sight
9:10
He said to him, 'Ubadah
9:12
I see you scared me
9:14
What if I saw my friends?
9:16
Among them were a thousand men
9:18
They are all stronger and more powerful than me
9:21
Al-Muqawqis said to him
9:23
What brought you out of your homes?
9:26
And what do you want from us?
9:29
Ubadah bin Al-Samit said
9:31
By God, we did not go out
9:34
Except seeking the pleasure of God Almighty
9:37
Our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, entrusted us with this
9:42
It should not be the desire of one of us in this world
9:45
Except what satisfies his hunger and covers his nakedness
9:49
Because the bliss of this world is not bliss
9:52
But the bliss is the bliss of the afterlife
9:55
Al-Muqawqis said to him
9:57
I heard you say
9:59
By my life, you have not reached what you have reached
10:02
Except what you mentioned
10:04
And you did not defeat those whom you defeated
10:07
Except for their love of the world
10:10
And your hatred for her
10:12
However, the Romans have gathered for you
10:14
Innumerable
10:16
And we know that you will not prevail against them
10:20
Because of your smallness and the distress of your hand
10:23
We indulge ourselves
10:25
That we give each man of you two dinars
10:28
And your prince has one hundred dinars
10:30
Your successor will receive a thousand dinars
10:33
And they turned away from us
10:35
Before something happens to you that you cannot bear
10:38
Ubadah bin Al-Samit said to him
10:42
Our fear of it was due to the large number of Romans
10:45
It does not deter us from our purpose
10:48
We are confident that we will win
10:51
With one of the two good ones
10:53
If we win you
10:55
The spoils of the world have been great for us
10:57
And if you defeat us
10:59
The spoils of the Hereafter are great for us
11:02
And know that there is not a single man among us
11:05
Except that he calls upon God after every prayer
11:08
To grant him martyrdom
11:10
And not to return him to his family disappointed
11:14
Each one was entrusted with it
11:16
From us, his family and children are with God
11:19
Then he presented it to Al-Muqawqis
11:22
Islam, tribute, or fighting
11:26
The people of Al-Muqawqis refused Islam
11:29
They refused to pay the tribute
11:31
All that remained was fighting
11:34
Then the Muslims decided to storm the fort
11:38
No matter how expensive it is
11:40
Then Zubair bin Al-Awwam stood up and said
11:43
I give myself to God Almighty
11:46
He took a high ladder to climb the wall of the fort
11:51
He asked the Muslim soldiers
11:53
To grow behind him with one voice
11:56
If they hear his takbeer
11:58
And it's only moments
12:00
Even he was a brave knight
12:03
He rides the walls of the fort
12:05
He is brandishing a sword
12:07
And the shout of God is great
12:09
It comes thundering from his mouth
12:12
Thousands of flocks set off after him
12:15
To hesitate, God is great
12:17
Its sound shook hearts and crushed resolve
12:21
Al-Zubayr threw himself inside the fort
12:24
A group of Muslim soldiers followed him
12:28
So put swords on the necks of the Romans
12:31
Who were stunned by the surprise
12:33
They opened the door of the fort in the faces of the Muslims
12:37
The Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, flocked to him
12:42
At their head was Ubadah ibn al-Samit
12:45
A battle of lessons took place between the two teams
12:49
God has destined victory for his soldiers
12:52
It was included in the state of the Qur’an
12:54
The pearl of the world is Egypt
12:57
May God bless the earth
13:02
It does not include Ubadah ibn al-Samit and others like him
13:06
Omar bin Al-Khattab
13:11
With his company, the constructed edifice sank
13:15
Oh Shiar, help me praise them
13:19
Is there anyone who can help?
