A new "Who Am I?" challenge.
0:16
I am one of the masters of the Ansar.
0:21
I embraced Islam early on.
0:23
I was present at Badr and Uhud,
0:25
as well as all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:30
I was proficient in reading and writing,
0:33
as well as swimming and archery.
0:35
Because of this, I was counted among the fully accomplished men.
0:40
I participated in the expedition dispatched by the Prophet, peace be upon him, to slay Ibn Abi al-Huqayq,
0:48
who used to incite the disbelievers against the Muslims.
0:52
That expedition was led by 'Abdullah ibn 'Atiq, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:59
When the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed away
1:03
and his family intended to wash his body,
1:06
we, the Ansar, gathered at the door of the apartment of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
1:12
and said:
1:14
"By Allah, by Allah!
1:15
We are his maternal uncles,
1:17
so let one of us be present,"
1:19
meaning to be present at his washing, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:23
Thereupon, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, came out to us
1:28
and said:
1:29
"Choose a man from among yourselves, O assembly of the Ansar,
1:33
to attend the washing of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, with us."
1:38
So we gathered and consulted one another,
1:42
and they selected me on their behalf.
1:45
They permitted me to enter with his family, peace be upon him,
1:50
and to participate in washing him.
1:53
Thus, I attained that great honor.
1:56
I was strong, carrying two water jars in my hands,
2:00
so I would transport the water to them
2:03
and pour it over him, peace be upon him,
2:07
while 'Ali and al-'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, rubbed his body.
2:12
And when he was buried, peace and blessings be upon him,
2:15
I was among those who descended into his grave, peace be upon him,
2:21
and laid him to rest in it.
2:23
So, who am I?
