Sawad ibn Ghaziyya (ra): Seeking Payback From the Prophet ﷺ | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

Minutes before Badr, the Prophet ﷺ straightened the rows and pressed the stomach of one companion back into line. Sawad ibn Ghaziyya (ra) said, “You hurt me, O Messenger of Allah. I want payback.” The Prophet ﷺ didn’t brush him off. He lifted his own shirt and said, “Take it.” What Sawad (ra) did next was an amazing act of love. We begin a new set of biographies: Companions whose lives were changed by the physical touch of the Prophet ﷺ. Sawad (ra) went on to capture two of the most valuable prisoners at Badr and was later placed in charge of Khaybar, where the Prophet ﷺ corrected him on an exchange of dates that amounted to riba (interest). 0:00 - Touched by the Prophet ﷺ: a new series of biographies 1:40 - Ali (ra), the banner, and the healing of his eyes at Khaybar 3:35 - “May my father be sacrificed for these hands”: love for what touched the Prophet ﷺ 5:51 - Relics, verification, and staying within tawhid 8:05 - Who was Sawad ibn Ghaziyya (ra)? 10:04 - Straightening the rows at Badr 11:51 - “You hurt me, I want payback” 14:13 - “I wanted my skin to last touch yours” 15:31 - Justice as a cause of victory 16:20 - The two prisoners he captured at Badr 18:17 - The story of the dates of Khaybar and avoiding riba (interest) 21:14 - His descendants in al-Quds and his grave in al-Baqi’ #badr #prophetmuhammad #seerah #lecture Click SUBSCRIBE and hit the 🔔 icon to receive the latest updates from Yaqeen!
