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 and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Ansar.
0:24
I embraced Islam as soon as it entered Medina.
0:28
I went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him, on the expedition of Badr.
0:33
But I broke my leg at al-Rawha'.
0:36
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent me back to Medina.
0:41
Yet he assigned me my share and my reward from the spoils of Badr.
0:45
So I was like one who had witnessed it.
0:49
I witnessed the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:53
I stood firm with him that day when the people retreated.
0:57
I pledged allegiance to him unto death.
1:00
On that day, I killed ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah.
1:04
And I took his spoils of war.
1:06
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave me those spoils.
1:10
He did not give the spoils to anyone else that day but me.
1:14
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked me on the day of Uhud while he was in the mountain pass.
1:22
He said, "Have you seen ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Awf?"
1:26
I said, "Yes, I saw him near the mountain."
1:30
"And there was a troop of polytheists upon him."
1:33
"I hurried toward him to defend him."
1:35
"But then I saw you, so I turned toward you."
1:38
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
1:42
"Indeed, the angels are defending him."
1:45
So I returned to ‘Abd al-Rahman.
1:48
I found seven men of the polytheists lying dead before him.
1:53
I said to him, "May your right hand be blessed."
1:56
"Did you kill all of these?"
1:59
He said, "As for this one,"
2:02
"He was killed by Arta ibn Sharhabil, may Allah be pleased with him."
2:06
"And these two, I killed them."
2:09
"But as for these others,"
2:11
"They were killed by someone I did not see."
2:14
I said, "The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth."
2:17
On the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, kept saying:
2:24
"What has become of my uncle? What has become of Hamzah?"
2:27
So I went out searching for him.
2:29
I found him killed, and his body had been mutilated.
2:32
I stood over him, deeply affected.
2:35
I could not move out of grief for him.
2:38
And what would I say to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him?
2:43
I delayed returning to him.
2:45
Then ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, came.
2:49
He found me, and he found Hamzah killed beside me.
2:54
He took my hand.
2:56
We returned and informed the Prophet, peace be upon him, of his death.
3:04
Then I witnessed the event of Bi'r Ma'unah.
3:06
I was killed on that day.
3:08
I was with ‘Amr ibn Umayyah, may Allah be pleased with him, tending the livestock.
3:13
We saw birds circling over the camp of our companions.
3:17
We went to them.
3:19
And behold, they were all killed.
3:22
I said to ‘Amr,
3:24
"What do you think?"
3:26
He said, "I think we should join the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and inform him."
3:32
I said,
3:34
"I would not stay behind from a place where my companions were killed."
3:39
So I rushed after the polytheists until I caught up with them.
3:43
I fought them until I was killed.
3:47
So, who am I?
