Stop.

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 Muhajirun (emigrant) Companions.
0:20
I come from a prestigious family in Makkah.
0:24
My father was one of the masters of the Quraysh.
0:27
He was among those with the most wealth and children.
0:30
Allah the Almighty revealed regarding him His words:
0:33
“Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,” (74:11)
0:38
"And I granted him extensive wealth,"
0:42
"And children present [with him],"
0:45
"And spread [everything] before him in ease."
0:49
My brother, Khalid, was one of the most brilliant military commanders.
0:53
He was never defeated in a single battle.
0:56
So much so that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, titled him:
0:59
"The Drawn Sword of Allah."
1:02
I participated alongside the polytheists in the Battle of Badr.
1:06
I was taken captive.
1:08
I was captured by 'Abdullah ibn Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:12
My brother Khalid came to ransom me.
1:15
'Abdullah ibn Jahsh demanded a high ransom.
1:19
Khalid bore the cost and paid the ransom.
1:23
When I was freed and reached Makkah, I embraced Islam.
1:27
My brother said to me:
1:30
"Why did you not embrace Islam before I paid your ransom to them?"
1:34
I replied, "I would not have embraced Islam until I was ransomed,"
1:38
"Lest the Quraysh say that I only followed Muhammad,"
1:42
"To escape paying the ransom."
1:44
My people imprisoned me in Makkah.
1:46
They subjected me to various forms of torture.
1:50
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to pray for me,
1:54
Among those he prayed for from the oppressed believers in Makkah.
1:58
Then I escaped from their captivity.
2:01
I joined the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in Madinah.
2:06
I went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, for the 'Umrat al-Qada'.
2:12
When we arrived in Makkah,
2:15
My brother Khalid left it,
2:17
So as not to see the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and his Companions in Makkah.
2:23
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
2:27
"If Khalid had come to us, we would have honored him."
2:31
"Someone like him could not be unaware of Islam."
2:34
I wrote to Khalid about this.
2:37
Islam took root in his heart.
2:40
And it was the reason for his migration.
2:44
One day I said to the Prophet, peace be upon him:
2:48
"O Messenger of Allah,"
2:50
"I feel loneliness and fear in my sleep."
2:54
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
2:57
"When you lie down to sleep, say:"
3:00
"In the name of Allah,"
3:02
"I seek refuge in Allah from His anger and His punishment,"
3:05
"And from the evil of His servants,"
3:07
"And from the whisperings of the devils,"
3:10
"And that they should be present with me."
3:12
"For it will not harm you, nor will they approach you."
3:16
I said it,
3:17
And the fear I used to feel in my sleep vanished.
3:23
So, who am I?
