Stop.

And learn about the Companions, the scholars, and those of the highest standing.
0:12
A new challenge: who am I?
0:16
I am among the Companions, a leader from among the leaders of Makkah.
0:24
And he was a leader among their leaders.
0:27
I am a horseman and a military commander.
0:30
I became renowned for my genius in planning and warfare.
0:34
And my proficiency in leading armies.
0:37
For he led more than a hundred battles.
0:40
I was not defeated in any of them.
0:43
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave me a title.
0:46
The drawn sword of Allah.
0:49
She embraced Islam after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
0:53
This is because the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:56
When he entered Makkah for the 'Umrat al-Qada'.
1:00
I was absent and did not witness his entry.
1:03
And my brother was with him.
1:05
My brother looked for me but could not find me.
1:08
He then wrote me a letter in which he stated:
1:11
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1:14
To proceed:
1:16
For I have never seen anything more astonishing than your opinion drifting away from Islam.
1:21
And your intellect, guard your intellect.
1:23
And the example of Islam is not something that anyone is ignorant of.
1:26
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked me about you.
1:30
So I said, "Allah will bring it about."
1:34
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:37
Someone like him cannot be ignorant of Islam.
1:40
Even if he had directed his efforts and his intensity toward the Muslims.
1:44
It would have been better for him.
1:47
And we have indeed preferred it over others.
1:50
Therefore, my brother, make amends for the righteous opportunities you have missed.
1:54
When his letter reached me, I felt energized to set out.
1:59
And it increased my desire for Islam.
2:02
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked about me.
2:06
I then migrated as a Muslim in the eighth year of the Hijra.
2:11
Before the conquest of Makkah
2:13
She also participated in the military expeditions thereafter.
2:18
I witnessed the Battle of Mu'tah only a few months after I had embraced Islam.
2:23
And I was a soldier in the army.
2:26
When the three commanders appointed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, were martyred
2:31
And the army remained without a commander.
2:34
They chose me to be their leader.
2:37
Then he took up the banner.
2:39
And I charged against the enemy.
2:41
And on that day, nine swords were shattered in my hand.
2:45
Until the withdrawal was successfully completed.
2:48
And Allah preserved the Muslims.
2:53
And he fought against the people of apostasy.
2:55
And Musaylimah the Liar.
2:57
And I participated in the military campaign in Iraq.
2:59
I witnessed the wars in the Levant alongside the Muslims, serving both as a commander and as a soldier.
3:04
And I passed away while lying on my bed in Homs.
3:07
The year 21 after the Hijrah.
3:10
So I said before I die
3:13
I witnessed over two hundred expeditions.
3:16
...and there is no part of my body, even a span,
3:20
...unless it has a blow from a sword or a shot from an arrow.
3:24
or a stab with a spear
3:27
And here I am, dying in my bed, meeting my end naturally.
3:31
Just as a camel dies
3:33
Thus, may the eyes of the cowards never find rest.
3:37
So who am I?

He followed the Messenger, whether he strove or spoke.
4:03
They were here, watering the clouds of our lives.
4:08
فموا وفينا ذكرهم يتعالا
4:13
رحلوا وألقوا في الظمير سؤالا
4:18
هل مثلهم نجم سما وتلالا
4:24
ملأوا الحياة مفاخرا بالفعلهم
4:29
وزهت بهم دنيا الأنام
