Pause and identify the Companions, scholars, and prominent figures.
0:12
A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the young Companions.
0:21
I embraced Islam early on and migrated to Medina.
0:25
I witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:30
My brother is Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:34
He is one of the senior Companions and one of the ten promised Paradise.
0:39
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, called upon the Companions to set out for Badr,
0:46
I prepared myself and went out with them.
0:49
I kept hiding among the ranks of the army,
0:52
so that no one would notice me.
0:55
Then my brother Sa'd saw me,
0:57
and he said,
0:59
"What is the matter with you, my brother, that you are hiding among the ranks?"
1:02
I replied,
1:04
"I fear that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, will see me,
1:09
consider me too young, and send me back,
1:12
and I love to go out,
1:15
hoping that Allah might grant me martyrdom."
1:18
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, reviewed the army,
1:23
he saw me, considered me too young, and sent me back.
1:27
So I wept.
1:30
When he, peace be upon him, saw my weeping
1:34
and my eagerness to participate,
1:36
he permitted me to join.
1:38
My brother Sa'd would tie the belt of my sword around my hands,
1:43
because the sword was so long and I was so short.
1:47
When the two armies met,
1:50
I rushed toward the enemy,
1:52
seeking death where it was to be found.
1:55
I began striking with my sword anyone I encountered among the polytheists,
2:00
until I received a blow from 'Amr Ibn 'Abd Wudd,
2:03
one of the chieftains of Quraysh.
2:06
My soul ascended to the heavens,
2:10
and I was among the first to fall as a martyr on the battlefield,
2:15
at only sixteen years of age,
2:18
as the youngest martyr in Islam.
2:21
So, who am I?
