A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:23
I embraced Islam in the ninth year after the Hijrah.
0:26
I witnessed the Battle of Tabuk.
0:28
I was among the poor Muslims of the Suffah.
0:34
I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
0:37
I prayed the dawn prayer with him.
0:40
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
0:43
used to, upon finishing the prayer,
0:45
turn to face his Companions.
0:48
When he drew near to me,
0:50
he did not recognize me and said,
0:52
"Who are you?"
0:54
I informed him.
0:55
He said,
0:56
"What brings you here?"
0:58
I said,
0:59
"I have come to pledge my allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah."
1:02
He said,
1:04
"On the condition of what you love and what you dislike?"
1:06
I said, "Yes."
1:08
So I embraced Islam and pledged my allegiance.
1:10
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:15
was preparing for Tabuk.
1:17
I had nothing to carry me.
1:20
I began to call out,
1:22
"Who will carry me, and in return, he shall have my share of the spoils?"
1:26
Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, may Allah be pleased with him, called me
1:30
and said,
1:31
"I will carry you, taking turns by night
1:34
and taking turns by day.
1:36
Your hand shall be equal to mine,
1:39
and your share shall be mine."
1:40
I said, "Yes."
1:42
So we set out.
1:44
May Allah reward him with goodness.
1:47
He would carry me for my turn and even more.
1:50
I would eat with him, and he would set aside food for me.
1:53
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent
1:57
Khalid ibn al-Walid, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:00
to Ukaydir al-Kindi
2:02
in Dumat al-Jandal,
2:04
I went out with him.
2:05
We were victorious.
2:07
I obtained six young she-camels.
2:09
I brought them to Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah
2:12
and said,
2:13
"Come out and look at your she-camels."
2:17
Ka'b came out smiling and said,
2:21
"May Allah bless you.
2:23
I did not carry you wanting to take anything from you."
2:29
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came to us one day
2:33
while we were sitting in the Suffah,
2:36
and hunger had left its mark upon us.
2:39
He said,
2:40
"How will you be when you are satiated with wheat bread and olive oil,
2:45
and you eat various kinds of food,
2:48
and you wear various kinds of clothing?
2:51
Are you better today, or will you be better then?"
2:54
We said,
2:55
"That day will be better."
2:57
He said,
2:58
"Rather, you are better today."
3:01
Time passed,
3:03
and we eventually ate various kinds of food,
3:06
wore various kinds of clothing,
3:09
and rode various mounts.
3:11
