Stop.
0:04
Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.
0:12
A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:22
I am the son of his most beloved Companion.
0:25
And I am the brother of his most beloved wife.
0:28
I embraced Islam early on in Makkah.
0:31
I used to attend to my father’s interests in herding and trade.
0:35
I was the eyes of the Prophet, peace be upon him, in Makkah at the time of the Hijrah.
0:41
I would listen for news for him during the day.
0:44
Then, I would bring him and his companion food when darkness fell.
0:49
I would inform him of the news of the Quraysh.
0:52
I would spend the night with them until the pre-dawn hours.
0:55
Then, I would appear in Makkah as if I had spent the night there.
0:59
This continued throughout their three-day stay in the cave.
1:04
I married ‘Atikah bint Zayd, may Allah be pleased with her.
1:09
She was among the most beautiful of women and the most perfect in intellect and wisdom.
1:15
I became so preoccupied with her that I missed out on much good.
1:18
I missed the opportunity to participate with the Prophet, peace be upon him, in his military expeditions.
1:24
My father blamed me for that and ordered me to divorce her.
1:29
I divorced her despite my intense love for her.
1:34
When my father saw my grief over her,
1:38
and my regret for what had happened because of her,
1:42
he ordered me to take her back.
1:44
I took her back and remained with her until she passed away.
1:49
I participated with the Prophet, peace be upon him, in the conquest of Makkah,
1:54
and the battles that followed.
1:57
I had purchased a garment for the Prophet, peace be upon him, to be shrouded in.
2:04
Then, I set this garment aside.
2:06
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was not shrouded in it.
2:11
I took it and said, "I will keep it until I shroud myself in it."
2:18
Then I said, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was not shrouded in it,
2:24
and I shall be shrouded in it?"
2:27
So I sold it and gave its price in charity.
2:30
I sustained a severe injury on the day of Ta'if.
2:35
Someone shot me with an arrow,
2:38
and I suffered a deep wound.
2:40
I treated it,
2:42
but I continued to feel the pain of that wound.
2:47
After the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:51
the wound reopened.
2:54
I passed away forty nights after him,
2:57
during the beginning of the caliphate of my father, may Allah be pleased with him.
3:02
He led the funeral prayer for me.
3:04
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, descended into my grave,
3:07
along with Talhah ibn ‘Ubayd Allah,
3:09
and my brother ‘Abd al-Rahman, may Allah be pleased with them.
