Pause.

Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the eminent figures.
0:12
A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions, from among the leaders of the Muhajirun.
0:23
I embraced Islam early on.
0:25
I was one of the scribes of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and one of his appointed officials.
0:30
I was also someone whose supplications were answered.
0:33
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me to the people of Oman.
0:38
To teach them the laws of Islam.
0:41
And he appointed me as governor over Bahrain.
0:44
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:48
I set out with an army to fight the apostates in Bahrain.
0:53
While we were on our journey,
0:55
We became exhausted from the intense heat and thirst.
0:58
Our mounts were exhausted as well.
1:01
For our water skins had run dry.
1:03
And there was no water to be found on the road.
1:06
This was on a Friday.
1:09
When the sun passed its zenith,
1:11
I led them in praying two rak'ahs.
1:13
Then I raised my hands toward the sky.
1:16
And we saw nothing in the sky.
1:19
I called upon Allah.
1:21
By Allah, I had not yet lowered my hands,
1:24
When Allah sent a wind,
1:26
And gathered clouds,
1:28
And poured out their water,
1:31
Until the pools and ravines were filled.
1:34
We drank and gave our mounts to drink.
1:37
And we replenished our water supply.
1:39
When we reached the sea,
1:43
We found that the enemy had learned of our arrival.
1:46
They had seized the ships.
1:48
So we found nothing to transport us to the island.
1:52
We stood before the sea, helpless.
1:55
I said,
1:56
"O people,
1:58
Allah has shown you a sign on land,
2:02
And He is capable of showing you a sign in the sea."
2:06
"I am firmly resolved."
2:09
They asked, "What is it?"
2:11
I said,
2:12
"I am resolved to cross this sea on these horses of ours."
2:17
They replied, "By the blessing of Allah,
2:20
We are with you."
2:22
So I stood on the seashore,
2:25
And said,
2:26
"O sea,
2:28
You flow by the command of Allah,
2:30
And we are soldiers in the path of Allah.
2:33
I command you to solidify,
2:36
So that we may cross to the enemy of Allah."
2:39
The water solidified,
2:41
And we crossed over it.
2:43
The water did not even wet our feet,
2:46
Nor the hooves of our mounts.
2:48
We fought the enemy and were victorious.
2:51
Then we returned, carrying the spoils of war.
2:54
And we crossed the sea, walking upon it with our horses just as we had come.
3:00
So, who am I?

When the next episode is released,
3:14
If Allah wills.
3:26
They departed and left a question in the conscience:
3:31
Is there a star like them that has risen and shone?
3:36
They filled life with glories through their deeds,
3:41
And the world of the living flourished because of them.
3:45
And like them, a star has risen and shone;
3:49
They filled life with glories through their deeds,
3:53
And the world of the living flourished because of them.
