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.
0:23
I am from the people of the desert.
0:25
I used to visit the Prophet, peace be upon him, in Medina.
0:30
I would bring him gifts from the desert.
0:33
And he, peace be upon him, would provide me with the necessities of Medina whenever I wished to return.
0:40
He used to say, "You are our desert dweller, and we are your city folk."
0:46
I was a man of plain appearance and very fond of joking.

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was amused by my wit and humor.
0:59
He would joke with me whenever I came to see him in Medina.
1:03
No one could make the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, laugh quite like I could.

I said, "Let me go! Who is this?"
1:48
But the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not answer me.
1:53
I turned around sharply,
1:55
and realized it was the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:59
I began to press my back against his chest,
2:02
seeking blessings from him.
2:04
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, began to call out to the people,
2:09
"Who will buy this slave from me?"
2:12
"Who will buy this slave from me?"
2:15
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
2:18
by Allah, you will find me to be of no value."
2:22
The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied,
2:25
"But in the sight of Allah, you are precious,"
2:29
"and you are not of no value."
2:31
