A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions and among the first to embrace Islam.
0:23
I am one of the early Emigrants to Medina.
0:27
I embraced Islam when I was twenty-one years old.
0:30
I was among the most handsome of men.
0:33
And one of the strongest and most resolute in battle.
0:37
I participated in all the military campaigns with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:42
The Prophet, peace be upon him, appointed me as commander over more than one expedition.
0:48
I performed valiantly on the day of Badr.
0:52
So much so that my sword broke in my hand.
0:55
I went to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:59
He gave me a branch from a palm tree.
1:02
He said, "Fight with this."
1:04
I asked, "How can I fight with this branch, O Messenger of Allah?"
1:09
He said, "Shake it," so I shook it.
1:13
It turned into a sharp, gleaming sword in my hand.
1:16
I fought with it.
1:18
And I witnessed the battles with it thereafter until my death.
1:23
That sword was called "al-'Awn" (The Aid).
1:29
The Prophet, peace be upon him, mentioned in one of his gatherings.
1:34
That seventy thousand of his Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment.
1:41
He described their attributes.
1:43
That they are those who do not seek ruqyah (incantations), do not cauterize, and do not believe in omens.
1:49
And they rely solely upon their Lord.
1:52
When I heard that.
1:54
I asked the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:57
To pray to Allah that I be one of them.
2:00
He gave me the glad tidings and said, "You are one of them."
2:04
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:09
I went out with the Muslim armies to fight the apostates.
2:13
The commander Khalid Ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, sent me.
2:17
Me and Thabit Ibn Aqram, may Allah be pleased with him.
2:21
As scouts ahead of them to bring news of the enemy.
2:25
We set out.
2:27
We encountered Tulayha Ibn Khuwaylid and his brother Salama.
2:31
Who were also scouts for the apostates.
2:34
We fought each other.
2:36
I engaged Tulayha in single combat.
2:38
And Thabit engaged Salama Ibn Khuwaylid.
2:41
It was not long before Salama killed Thabit Ibn Aqram.
2:46
As for me, I was about to kill Tulayha.
2:50
Tulayha cried out to Salama.
2:52
"Help me against this man, for he is going to kill me!"
2:56
So Salama turned and attacked me, and they both killed me, then they left.
3:02
When the Muslims arrived, they found us killed.
3:06
They were deeply affected and grieved intensely.
3:11
They found grievous wounds upon me.
3:14
They dug a grave for us and buried us in our clothes.
