{\an8}"Kufa, Year 32 After the Hijra"

2
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,400
Al-Ashtar hasn't come
yet Do we wait for him?

3
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,960
No...

4
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Welcome

5
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Welcome, dear Kufa men

6
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,920
Thank you, our Lord

7
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Ever since I've become
the Governor of this country

8
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,400
I'm invoking Allah to facilitate our path

9
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,480
I swear Kufa is the only
place I love after Mecca

10
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,760
- Peace be upon you - And be upon you

11
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,080
I hope I haven't interrupted you

12
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,000
I'm exhilarated to meet
you, Malik Have a seat

13
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,040
The Commander of the Faithful
Uthman Ibn Affan has bestowed upon me...

14
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,600
governing this great
country Kufa, the arable land

15
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520
And why did he bestow on
you governing this country?

16
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,880
Ever since he made you Governor
we're thinking about why did he choose you

17
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,040
What do you mean, Malik?

18
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,280
Aren't Kufa citizens entitled...

19
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,320
to know why the Commander of
the Faithful made you Governor?

20
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,520
What good qualities do you have
and aren't found in Kufa's men?

21
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,120
One doesn't praise himself,
Malik Go ask him yourself

22
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
I don't consider our relation to
be one of a Governor and subjects

23
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,760
I see us as one family

24
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Kufa has always been a
great ally for Mecca and its lords

25
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,080
This arable land is the Quraysh's garden

26
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,680
Quraysh's garden

27
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Quraysh's garden?

28
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Do you claim that this land that
we've conquered by virtue of Allah

29
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,760
is yours and your people's property?

30
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Don't misconstrue my words, Malik

31
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280
I've meant that the Chief
Companions have inhabited and built it

32
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,200
not that it's their property
and they're your masters

33
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Unbelievable!

34
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440
You're changing your words and blame us

35
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Take it back and apologize immediately

36
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,080
I won't take it back and
I'm not at fault to apologize

37
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Why are you willing to harm our
Commander's appointees out of ill will?

38
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,960
Are you accusing me of ill-will
because I'm uncovering your mistakes?

39
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,520
May Allah be merciful to Umar

40
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,720
He said about you "A 100,000
calamities with one Governor"

41
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,000
I'm sure, Umar didn't say such
thing but you're fabricating that

42
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
No, he did say so and you
deserve a worse description

43
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,800
- Leave my court at once -
Come on, leave immediately

44
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,840
I'll leave

45
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,680
but after Ibn al-As apologizes

46
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,520
for what he's said about Muslims

47
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,560
- Behave yourself, Malik or else...
- Enough!

48
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,720
That's enough, leave him

49
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,400
I swear...

50
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
I swear you won't stay a
day in Kufa while I'm here

51
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,040
Your fate will be similar to Ibn Uqba's

52
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
"Episode 9"

53
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,720
Hind

54
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,200
Father

55
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,360
Hind

56
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Allah Akbar

57
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Allah Akbar

58
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480
Allah Akbar

59
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,760
- Allah Akbar - Allah Akbar

60
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Put it on my horse

61
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,600
Are you really going to Egypt?

62
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,960
With Allah's will

63
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,640
- Egypt will be a new
start for me - Muhammad...

64
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,520
Our Commander didn't refuse your request
to become Egypt's Governor out of bigot

65
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Being a Governor has specific
requirements and conditions as you know

66
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,960
He felt that you don't fulfil them yet

67
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,280
Have his kindred whom he
appointed fulfilled these conditions?

68
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,040
If you wanted to help the
Commander of the Faithful

69
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,160
There are many ways beside governance

70
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,920
Wait and be patient, brother

71
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680
and don't leave the company
of the Commander of the Faithful

72
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,760
for it's better for you

73
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,440
I no longer have a place here anymore

74
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,800
and I no longer fear for our
Commander as long as you're by his side

75
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,880
As you wish, brother

76
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Farewell

77
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,160
May Allah be merciful to Abi Sufyan

78
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,720
Any calamity after the loss of Allah's
Messenger, peace be upon Him is easy

79
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,680
and we'll only say what pleases our Lord

80
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160
As if he, May Allah be merciful to him...

81
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,400
knew that he's moribund when he
asked to leave Damascus for Medina

82
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,120
So, he would be buried there

83
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160
in al-Baqi amongst his
brothers and next of kin

84
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,920
"Beware of the believer's intuition"

85
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000
I think the Commander of the
Faithful seemed concerned and sullen

86
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Is there anything bad we
don't know about in Medina?

87
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,960
What's bad is the news coming from
Kufa and the turmoil spreading there

88
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,600
- Al-Ashtar al-Nakhai?
- Yes

89
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160
People of Yemen and the
Qahtanites heed his orders

90
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,480
He lured a lot of the rabble and tempted
them to rebel against their Governors

91
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,960
So, they sent their complaints
to the Commander of the Faithful

92
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,000
which made him uneasy

93
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,960
If I didn't know that you're perseverant
to support your subjects in Damascus

94
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
I would have asked you
to stay for a longer time

95
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,640
By Allah, your company is
delightful O Commander of the Faithful

96
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,520
But I'll go on to follow your orders
that would make Allah pleased with me

97
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,440
Farewell

98
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640
and my condolences

99
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,240
May Allah make your reward great, my Lord

100
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,600
and keep you a leader
and advisor to the nation

101
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,280
I'll accompany you, Mu'awiya

102
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:27,720
- Peace be upon you - Peace
and Allah's mercy be upon you

103
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,640
- Peace be upon you - And be upon you

104
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,720
Did you know what they're
saying about Ibn Abi Sarh in Egypt?

105
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,760
- Yes, I know - I told you so

106
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440
He's taking advantage of his
post without sharing his wealth

107
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Don't you think that they're
fabricating lies about him?

108
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,080
He has conquered Ifriqiya

109
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,080
and took part in our
naval victory in Cyprus

110
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Is conquering any land entitles him
to doing whatever he wants there?

111
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,000
That's incorrect, he's just
but they only recall about him

112
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
That's incorrect, he's just
but they only recall about him

113
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,200
that the Prophet has authorized his
killing during the Conquest of Mecca

114
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,880
If the Prophet himself has spared his life

115
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,440
what can you say after
the Prophet's ruling?

116
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,360
And why do they delve into that now?

117
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Are you on his side to
please Uthman, Mu'awiya?

118
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,240
Or you don't want to criticize him
fearing that they might criticize you?

119
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,360
I follow the news of Egypt through Muslims

120
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,040
But you, Amr...

121
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,680
I know that you're waiting impatiently
to return to your former position

122
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Be patient, be patient

123
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,400
By Allah, you turn a blind eye to
everything except Syria and its people

124
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Listen, Aba Abd al-Rahman

125
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920
I'll advice you out of loyalty
to you and to your father

126
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Be certain...

127
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,840
that the stability of Syria is essential
for Egypt and Medina's stability

128
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,360
So, don't turn a cold
shoulder to what's happening

129
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,440
and imagine that it would help
you escape the consequences

130
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,240
Turmoil in any province no
matter how far it's from you...

131
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,040
will affect you without a doubt

132
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Thank you for your advice, Aba Abdullah

133
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:30,880
Mu'awiya?

134
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,440
You didn't respond to my lady, Nai'la, yet

135
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,560
What's wrong with you, Brother?

136
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,800
Doesn't it delight you?

137
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,360
How it doesn't delight me? Is there
a better husband for my daughter

138
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,880
than the son of our Commander,
Uthman whom the angels show modesty?

139
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Then, what is it?

140
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,320
I have one condition

141
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Are you imposing a condition on
the Commander of the Faithful?

142
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,440
I stipulate that Ramla and
her husband stay with me

143
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,120
After the passing of Fakhita and
my father I don't want more parting

144
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,040
I don't bear for my
daughter to be away from me

145
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,320
- Do you think he'll accept?
- Why not?

146
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,280
We'll be Amr's loving family

147
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Besides, he knows Damascus pretty well

148
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,320
He had always accompanied
his father for trading

149
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200
My foot has been hurting for days

150
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,720
That's because of your long travels

151
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,600
Rest today and it'll be alright tomorrow

152
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,440
That could be

153
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,520
My Lord

154
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,600
some water with a basil
blossom and two saffron blossoms

155
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
will relieve your foot pain in a day or so

156
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,160
How did you know this medicine?

157
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,320
My mother is experienced
at using flowers and herbs

158
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,240
She taught me

159
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,440
Have I seen you at the palace before?

160
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,760
She came a few days ago

161
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Let's go, girls

162
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,400
You wait

163
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,760
What's your name?

164
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Mayya

165
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,920
This way, your foot pain
will be over soon, my Lord

166
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600
No, it's gone immediately, Mayya

167
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Do you want me to continue telling
the story or are you bored, my Lord?

168
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Continue Come, sit beside me

169
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,200
The king was astounded with the palace's
intricate design and amazing colors

170
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,480
so, Sinmar, the builder felt happy

171
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Especially, that he knows
king Al-Numan's generosity

172
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,080
He took the king on a tour of
the palace and went up to its top

173
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Which astounded the king more
because of the magnificent construction

174
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960
However, Sinmar told him
that just like he'd built that palace

175
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,560
he would build a similar or
better palace for another king

176
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Al-Numan feared that Sinmar
would giveaway the palace's secret

177
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Thus, the king looked Sinmar in the eye

178
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Thus, the king looked Sinmar in the eye

179
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360
What you think he did, my Lord?

180
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,440
Eliminated the secret
by killing the bearer

181
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520
He pushed him from the top of the palace

182
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,600
This is a story of a man killed
by his devotion to his work

183
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,440
That's what Sinmar deserved

184
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar

185
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,120
- Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar
- I've lost track of time

186
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,120
I testify that there's no god but Allah

187
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Give me permission to leave
so you can prepare for prayer

188
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,960
I testify that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah

189
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,200
Do you know other stories?

190
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
I testify the Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah

191
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Yes, my Lord I have plenty

192
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Come to success

193
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,800
Come to success

194
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar

195
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,240
Where have you been?

196
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,560
With my Lord, the Governor

197
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440
Have you been with him all that time?

198
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,920
Yes, my lady

199
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,080
Leave!

200
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,400
Mu'awiya

201
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Don't you miss Yazid?

202
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,880
Yes, I miss him so much

203
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,760
Then, I'll send for him so
he can stay with us for a while

204
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,400
Do it

205
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,320
What's with you?

206
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,840
Nothing

207
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,440
Mu'awiya

208
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,480
You won't let you meet any handmaiden
before I know everything about her

209
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,160
Do you think Utba hasn't investigated
every handmaiden in the palace?

210
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,880
- Don't worry - How do you know?

211
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,080
I'm experienced at reading
secrets by looking into others' eyes

212
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Also, I'm not Utba to
overlook an imminent threat

213
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,640
- As you wish - Juwairiyah

214
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,840
I like Mayya for she takes my worries away

215
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,480
so, leave my heart be

216
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,200
Al-Ashtar has gone too far at criticizing
us and inciting people against us

217
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,160
Kufa won't settle down if he stays there

218
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,640
I'm afraid that his corruption
might spread to other provinces

219
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:34,280
He continues to state that
you're appointing your next of kin

220
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,720
and provide them with money and power

221
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,160
When have I appointed Governors
from my next of kin, as a favor or a gift?

222
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Allah is my witness...

223
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,560
that I've appointed the
qualified and experienced people

224
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,640
If he claims that I'm
appointing my next of kin

225
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,600
Let him prove it

226
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,040
Let him name them

227
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Is Al-Qa'qa one of my relatives?

228
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,400
Or Abu Musa or Habib Ibn Maslama?

229
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,520
Malik has gone too far

230
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,000
and I won't turn a blind eye

231
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,720
Should we send a letter to Sa'id?

232
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,600
No

233
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,080
Don't send any letter

234
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,600
You'd better tell Sa'id to let
them leave Kufa to Damascus

235
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,520
Then tell Mu'awiya to
argue with them amicably

236
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,760
If they're convinced...

237
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,480
they would return home

238
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,000
but if they stayed misguided

239
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,440
I'll decide what punishment they deserve

240
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,520
Commander of the Faithful

241
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,000
Write what I've told you

242
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Write what I've told you

243
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,400
Welcome, my dear son of my dearest

244
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,520
Welcome, Amr Ibn Uthman Ibn Affan

245
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,880
May Allah bless you and protect
you from evil, Governor of Damascus

246
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,160
- How's the Commander of the Faithful?
- He asks you to treat me well

247
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,600
I don't need that, Amr

248
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,920
You're the son of our Commander
and you'll become Ramla's husband

249
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,360
I'll throw you a wedding
that Damascus won't forget

250
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600
The Governor's daughter
marries without a wedding

251
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,480
How come?

252
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Couldn't he donate anything
but the wedding expenses?

253
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,800
You should not accept such a bizarre thing

254
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,560
No, I'll accept

255
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,280
- The wedding is the least
of your rights - Auntie...

256
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,640
could I refuse his request...

257
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,080
after he accepted to leave
Medina to live here with me?

258
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,000
If I'm happy with it
why aren't you pleased?

259
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,200
I'm pleased with whatever you like

260
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,560
However, a young girl like you
might be ignorant to conventions

261
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,720
Besides, you're the daughter
of Damascus's Governor

262
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,360
A girl my age would be
delighted to find a pious husband

263
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240
who wouldn't let worldly
vanities consume him

264
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
May Allah grant you success

265
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,880
I desire sleep at the wrong time

266
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:54,360
In hope to meet my beloved in my dreams

267
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:01,640
My dreams speak to me and let me see you

268
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,360
Alas, I wish my dreams come true

269
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,000
My father never thought that his
youngest daughter may disobey him one day

270
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:17,120
But, I wouldn't accept
marrying someone I don't love

271
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,120
When he insisted on that
I had no choice but to flee

272
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,840
You left your home and family?

273
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,480
I escaped to be free

274
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,520
I grant my love to whom I choose
and turn away from those I despise

275
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,640
However, I found myself
running away from my past

276
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,080
I realized after years

277
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,320
after I've became one of the handmaidens

278
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,360
that there're all sorts of people, my Lord

279
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,200
and I wasn't meant to be free

280
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,320
I'll remove it after a while

281
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,240
What about your father?

282
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,280
He stays on my mind

283
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:10,440
I never stopped regretting this

284
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,040
He's the one who took care of me
and taught me how to read and write

285
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,120
and used to tell me all types of stories

286
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,800
May Allah be merciful to you, Father

287
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,680
He was heartbroken
when he yielded his breath

288
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,400
"Every soul will taste death"

289
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,640
One cannot escape his fate

290
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,160
It is hard to lose your loved ones

291
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,720
But do you know what's harder, Mayya?

292
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,160
No, my Lord

293
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
To lose your loved ones...

294
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,440
without telling them that you love them

295
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,360
Have you suffered such a thing?

296
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,640
Yes, Mayya

297
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,400
Since Fakhita became my wife

298
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,400
I've always been contemplating
about my feelings toward her

299
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,280
but I didn't find an answer

300
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,680
except when she passed away

301
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
Alas, how much she yearned to
hear a word of affection from me

302
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,840
Fakhita was my wife, mother and sister

303
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,720
If I could go back in time

304
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,480
I would put my feelings
into words every day

305
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,440
telling her that I loved
her the most in this world

306
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,480
Welcome, people of Kufa

307
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,760
- Peace be upon you -
Peace upon you, Mu'awiya

308
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,880
Please, come in

309
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,160
I ordered to prepare a resident
for you and if you needed anything...

310
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,000
Sarjon will be at your service

311
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320
Is it a residence or a holding cell?

312
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,520
What kind of cell do you mean, Malik?

313
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,040
You're guests in Syria

314
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Our Commander ordered me to treat
you well and discuss things amicably

315
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,560
until you understand the truth

316
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,200
What if that "amicable"
argument doesn't lead to anything?

317
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,480
Don't jump to conclusions, Malik

318
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,200
We'll have a conscious
debate with all ears

319
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Who entitled Sa'id to give
away Kufa and its arable land...

320
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920
and say that it's Quraysh's garden?

321
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Perhaps he means that Arabs
owe Quraysh a lot of credit

322
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,680
Allah's messenger is from Quraysh

323
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,880
and they launched the armies of conquest
that vanquished Persia and Byzantium

324
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,160
If it weren't for Quraysh Islam
wouldn't prevail over all religions

325
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,680
I didn't mean that,
Mu'awiya what I meant is...

326
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,000
an Arab has no virtue over a non-Arab

327
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,560
or, for a man from Quraysh
over a man from a different tribe

328
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,800
"Indeed the most noble of you in the sight
of Allah is the most righteous of you"

329
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Kufa's Governor didn't
mean anything else, Malik

330
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,960
Although you're right

331
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,120
you must admit what
Quraysh has done for Arabs

332
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,560
or even for all people

333
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:17,680
How strange!

334
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,360
Doesn't our religion order
us to dismiss boastfulness

335
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,560
"The believers are but brothers"

336
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,440
Whether they're from
Quraysh or any other tribe

337
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,560
Fear Allah and avoid frivolous talk, Malik

338
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,520
and don't question every word the man says

339
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,960
"Indeed, Allah knows
what is in the hearts"

340
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Don't discredit others but focus
on your religious and worldly affairs

341
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,160
If Al-Walid has refused you
something I'll approve it this instant

342
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,080
Come on, tell me what you want

343
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,920
I promise you and I
swear to Allah that I'll do it

344
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,320
I won't impose any conditions
and you can think whatever you want

345
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,800
Go ahead!

346
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,240
What's with you?

347
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,920
Do you want us to
return a lost right to you?

348
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,600
Or, you're inciting turmoil, suspicion
arguments and decorative speech?

349
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440
May Allah punish
anyone who incites turmoil

350
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,720
Now, we're on the same page Aba Ibrahim

351
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,800
But, tell me...

352
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,920
How did you interpret what
Sa'id said in that manner?

353
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,360
and thought he had malicious intent

354
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,680
and incited others to disobey him he
and the Commander of the Faithful?

355
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,440
By Allah, Sa'id meant
ill will by his speech

356
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,000
and I think that speech is
shared by some of Quraysh's men

357
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Is that speech accepted
in Islam, Aba Ibrahim?

358
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,240
He's the one who's returning to the
ways of the Age of Ignorance after Islam

359
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,440
You don't aim for the truth
and reconciliation by this speech

360
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,560
If you've reached this
level of misguidance

361
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,760
I warn you of the consequences
of continuing this path

362
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,520
So, stop it, Malik

363
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,480
Stop stoking a fire that
would burn everyone

364
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,760
Fear Allah for the faithful and their
Commander who asked me to treat you fairly

365
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,320
If it wasn't for him I would
have treated you otherwise

366
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,520
- Do your bidding, Mu'awiya - Malik!

367
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
I've told you to stop it

368
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,600
We're weary of arguing

369
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960
Anyway, you're welcome in Damascus

370
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,640
Have some rest and let's convene again

371
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,120
You're quite patient in face
of this arrogance, Mu'awiya

372
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,000
By Allah, If I were in your place
I'd have imprisoned them at once

373
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,280
By Allah, If I were in your place
I'd have imprisoned them at once

374
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,120
I'm still hoping to change
their mind by arguing amicably

375
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,720
I don't rely on my sword
where my whip works

376
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,360
and don't use my whip where my words work

377
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Some people don't respond
to anything but the whip

378
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,000
and others' heads don't
deserve but the sword

379
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720
Here, words are more
dangerous than swords, Utba

380
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Those people are saying
things we've never heard before

381
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,880
and trying to insult the Caliph

382
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,960
imprisoning them won't remove the
poison that flows through the veins

383
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,560
of their followers in
Kufa or other provinces

384
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400
What are you going to do
now with their stubbornness?

385
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,280
I'll converse with Al-Ashtar alone

386
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,880
Perhaps he doesn't want to
look weak in front of his followers

387
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,960
If he chose reason we'll treat him fairly

388
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,400
but if he insisted on his misguidance

389
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,040
I'll let Abd al-Rahman Ibn Khalid
Ibn al-Walid in Homs to deal with him

390
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,800
He knows how to discipline who
disobeys the Commander of the Faithful

391
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,400
"Fustat, Egypt Year 33 After the Hijra"

392
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,800
In the name of Allah The Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful

393
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,240
"Indeed, Allah commands you to
render trusts to whom they are due"

394
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,960
"and to judge with justice
when you judge between people"

395
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,280
Allah Almighty is Truthful

396
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,240
The Islamic Caliphate
was hit by a calamity

397
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320
The Umayyads and Uthman's
relatives are monopolizing governance

398
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,520
Like Al-Mugheira, Sa'id,
Mu'awiya Al-Walid and Ibn Abi Sarh

399
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,240
Ibn Abi Sarh whom the
Prophet has authorized his killing

400
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,960
- Peace be upon him -
Uthman interceded for him

401
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,680
and he takes the fifth of
the fifth of Ifriqiya's tributes

402
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,680
How is that fair?

403
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,080
People of Egypt are poor

404
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,280
and are fed up of the unjust
collection of tribute by Ibn Abi Sarh

405
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,400
It's time to stop the injustice
and stand up to any oppressor

406
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,080
Well said...

407
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,680
By Allah's will

408
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,440
Umar appointed those Governors
may Allah be merciful to him

409
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,800
and they took part in conquest and Jihad

410
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,560
They supported the development
of our nation by virtue of Allah

411
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,200
They've inhabited the
land conquered countries

412
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,360
and have experience at
governance and politics

413
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,640
So, be of help to them and
argue them with advice amicably

414
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Because, the nation would be
better by your combined efforts

415
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,040
But that doesn't mean that
you can monopolize governance

416
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,160
and act as if palaces are your
property while excluding all Muslims

417
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,800
We have fought just like you

418
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,600
Although Jihad battles are to your credit

419
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:47,040
They don't make you entitled to
own everything in the provinces

420
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,480
Do you want to be a Governor Aba Ibrahim?

421
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,840
If so, you're not qualified

422
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
And we don't know by revising
the Prophet's rules or his Caliphs

423
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,520
that whoever asks for
governance would be appointed

424
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,880
However, whoever asks for
it would never be appointed

425
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,480
I'm not asking to be appointed
I want the governors to be just

426
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,960
If the Governor is just

427
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,360
all of his subjects would
become partners in governance

428
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,200
But every governor you complain
about is dismissed by our Commander

429
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,840
He did so to Saad Ibn Abi Waqas

430
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,840
Then, he dismissed Ammar
Ibn Yaser and appointed Al-Walid

431
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,760
and when you asked for his
dismissal he didn't hesitate

432
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,720
So, what do you want?

433
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,040
We don't tolerate to have the
poor and the needy among us

434
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,720
while people of wealth
are living in their palaces

435
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,920
The rich must help the poor

436
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,920
You envy others for their
blessings not a right seeker, Malik

437
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,640
I can please everyone
except an envious person

438
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,040
for he wouldn't be
pleased unless it's gone

439
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,160
You're no longer welcome in Damascus

440
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,960
No, I'm not sure whether Malik
will not return to his old ways

441
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,760
Didn't you prove to him that
what he's doing leads to turmoil?

442
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,920
I did

443
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,480
I've realized that he's thinking
carefully about the matter

444
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,000
but I don't know whether he's going
to heed my advice in the coming days

445
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,760
Are you still thinking that it's
unwise to punish or imprison him?

446
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,080
I refuse that completely

447
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,040
That would be much more dangerous

448
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,280
He and his fellows are still a few
men spreading nonsense here and there

449
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,560
and people are slightly affected by that

450
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,040
But if we ordered to
punish or imprison him

451
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,080
that would only lead to increase
the number of his followers

452
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,880
They might even fight others

453
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,280
But leaving him to whatever
he wants is dangerous too

454
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,200
Well said

455
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,360
If it was left to me...

456
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,800
there's no solution other than removing
him from Kufa with or without a reason

457
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,120
Abd al-Rahman Ibn Khalid Ibn al-Walid
Governor of Homs will deal with them

458
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,160
This is the best solution

459
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,440
Send some to accompany
them until they reach Homs

460
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:41,880
Yes, sir
