A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am among the Emigrants from the Companions.
0:21
I am one of the maternal uncles of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:25
I embraced Islam early on.
0:27
I participated alongside him in all the battles.
0:30
I was one of the heroes and commanders in the battles.
0:34
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saw me on one occasion,
0:39
and said, "This is my maternal uncle,
0:42
so let any man show me his maternal uncle!"
0:46
On the day of Uhud, we were present for the fighting.
0:50
When we saw the host of polytheists,
0:53
'Abdullah ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him, said to me,
0:57
"Shall we not go aside and pray to Allah?"
1:00
So we stepped aside to a quiet area.
1:02
I prayed, saying:
1:04
"O Allah, when we meet the enemy tomorrow,
1:08
match me against a man of fierce prowess,
1:11
and intense fury,
1:13
that I may fight him for Your sake and he may fight me,
1:16
then grant me victory over him,
1:19
so that I may kill him and take his spoils."
1:22
'Abdullah ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him, said "Ameen,"
1:26
then he prayed, saying:
1:29
"O Allah, grant me tomorrow
1:31
a man of fierce prowess
1:33
and intense fury,
1:35
that I may fight him for Your sake and he may fight me,
1:38
then he may kill me,
1:40
take me, and cut off my nose and ears.
1:44
So when I meet You tomorrow,
1:46
You will say to me:
1:47
'O 'Abdullah,
1:49
for what were your nose and ears cut off?'
1:52
And I will reply: 'For You and Your Messenger.'
1:56
And You will say: 'You have spoken the truth.'"
1:59
By Allah, the supplication of 'Abdullah ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:05
was better than my supplication.
2:08
For I saw him at the end of the day,
2:11
and indeed, his nose and ears
2:13
were strung together on a thread.
2:15
So, who am I?
