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, from the Ansar.
0:24
I witnessed the Second Pledge of al-'Aqabah when I was twenty years old.
0:29
I participated in the Battle of Badr and all subsequent campaigns with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:35
During the great Battle of Badr, I seized the banner of the polytheists from their hands.
0:41
I took al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib captive, even though I was a short man.
0:47
And al-'Abbas was a large, tall man.
0:50
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me:
0:54
"A noble angel helped you against him."
0:57
I was owed a debt by a man, so I went to seek it at his house.
1:03
He was slow to come out to me.
1:06
He said to his servant girl:
1:08
"Tell him I am not here."
1:11
But I heard his voice.
1:13
I said, "Come out!"
1:15
"For I have heard your voice."
1:17
He came out to me.
1:19
I asked, "What compelled you to do what you did?"
1:23
He replied, "I was ashamed before you."
1:26
"You came to me while I was in financial distress."
1:29
I asked:
1:30
"By Allah, are you truly in distress?"
1:33
He said, "By Allah, I am in distress."
1:37
I said:
1:39
"Young man, show me the record of the debt."
1:42
I took it and erased it.
1:45
Then I said to the man:
1:47
"Go."
1:48
"You are absolved of the debt you owed."
1:51
For I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say:
1:56
"Whoever grants respite to someone in financial distress or cancels the debt for him,"
2:00
"He will be in the shade of Allah on the Day of Resurrection,"
2:03
"Or under the protection of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic."
2:08
And one day,
2:09
A woman came to me to buy dates.
2:13
I was taken by her.
2:14
I said to her:
2:16
"There are better dates than these inside the house."
2:20
So she entered the house with me.
2:22
I leaned toward her and kissed her.
2:25
Then I felt remorse.
2:27
I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:31
And mentioned that to him.
2:33
He rebuked me, peace be upon him,
2:36
And said:
2:38
"Do you betray a warrior in the path of Allah regarding his family with something like this?"
2:44
I wished I had not embraced Islam until that very moment.
2:50
I even thought I was among the people of the Fire.
2:54
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, lowered his head.
2:58
And Allah revealed a verse to him.
3:19
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called for me,
3:22
And recited it to me.
3:24
I was overjoyed by it.
3:27
I asked:
3:29
"O Messenger of Allah,"
3:30
"Is it for me specifically?"
3:32
"Or for the people in general?"
3:34
He replied:
3:36
"Rather, it is for the people in general."
3:38
I lived a long life.
3:42
I witnessed the Day of Siffin with 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.
3:47
I was the last of the Companions to die
3:50
Among those who witnessed Badr.
3:52
So, who am I?
