Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures.

A new "Who Am I?" challenge.
0:16
I am one of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
0:23
And I am one of the leaders of the Ansar.
0:26
During the Age of Ignorance, I despised idols.
0:29
I held them in low regard.
0:31
And I believed in the Oneness of Allah.
0:34
Therefore,
0:35
I was one of the six who accepted the invitation of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to Islam.
0:41
This was when he first invited them in Makkah during the Hajj season.
0:45
Then we returned to Yathrib.
0:47
And we invited our people.
0:49
Then we came to him the following year, twelve men.
0:54
And we pledged allegiance to him at the First Pledge of al-Aqabah.
0:57
I was the first to pledge allegiance to the Prophet, peace be upon him, that day.
1:02
I also witnessed the Second Pledge of al-Aqabah.
1:05
Thus, I am one of the twelve leaders of the Ansar.
1:09
And I witnessed all the battles alongside the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:14
I had a well in Madinah.
1:18
It was called Jasum.
1:20
Its water was sweet.
1:22
The Prophet, peace be upon him, loved to drink from its water.
1:28
One day,
1:30
The Prophet, peace be upon him, met Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them.
1:35
He asked them, "What has brought you out?"
1:38
They said,
1:40
"Hunger, O Messenger of Allah."
1:42
He said,
1:44
"And I, too, have been brought out by hunger."
1:47
So they came to my house.
1:49
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to my wife,
1:53
"Where is your husband?"
1:55
She replied,
1:56
"He is nearby, O Messenger of Allah."
1:58
"He went to fetch some fresh water for us."
2:01
"Come in."
2:02
When I arrived and saw them,
2:04
I was overjoyed to see them.
2:07
I climbed a palm tree in my orchard.
2:10
And I cut down some clusters of dates for them.
2:13
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me,
2:17
"That is enough."
2:19
I said,
2:20
"O Messenger of Allah,
2:22
eat from both the unripe and the ripe dates,
2:25
and enjoy them."
2:27
Then I stood up to slaughter a sheep for them.
2:31
The Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:34
along with Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, laid their heads down and slept.
2:39
Then they woke up, and the food was ready.
2:42
I placed it before them.
2:45
They ate and were satisfied.
2:47
And they praised Allah.
2:49
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to my companion,
2:53
"This is part of the blessings about which you will be questioned."
2:57
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me,
3:01
"Do you have a servant?"
3:03
I said, "No."
3:05
He said,
3:06
"If captives come to us, come to me."
3:09
Then two young boys were brought to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
3:13
I went to him.
3:15
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
3:18
"Choose one of them."
3:20
I said,
3:22
"O Prophet of Allah,
3:24
choose for me."
3:26
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
3:29
"The one consulted is trusted.
3:32
Take this one,
3:33
for I have seen him praying.
3:36
And treat him well."
3:39
So I took him to my wife.
3:41
I told her what the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had said.
3:46
She said to me,
3:48
"You will never fulfill the kindness the Prophet, peace be upon him, enjoined regarding him,
3:54
unless you set him free."
3:56
So I set him free.
3:59
I was a man who owned many palm trees.
4:02
The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to send me to Khaybar
4:07
to estimate the yield of their crops,
4:09
and to extract the Muslims' share from it.
4:13
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, passed away,
4:17
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, asked me to perform the same task.
4:22
I apologized to him.
4:24
He said, "You used to estimate for the Messenger of Allah."
4:28
I said,
4:30
"Whenever I estimated for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and returned,
4:36
he would pray and seek forgiveness for me.
4:38
Who will seek forgiveness for me now?"
4:41
So Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, excused me.
4:45
So, who am I?
