Full transcript
- 0:00I am Rukanah the Great. Is there any
- 0:03challenger? Where are your brave men,
- 0:06or are you afraid? No one can face me.
- 0:10In Mecca, where strength elevated a man
- 0:13above others. There was a name everyone
- 0:16feared. It was Rukanah ibn Abd Yazid.
- 0:19The strongest wrestler in Mecca, a man
- 0:21of massive build, famous among the
- 0:23tribes for strength people had never
- 0:25seen the like of. Whenever he entered
- 0:28the wrestling arena, people gathered to
- 0:30watch his might. Men would step up to
- 0:33him one after another, but the result
- 0:35was always the same: another fall to
- 0:37the sand. One day, Rukanah entered a
- 0:40wide arena on the outskirts of Mecca.
- 0:42With people surrounding him from every
- 0:44side. The first challenger stepped
- 0:46forward. The confrontation did not last
- 0:48long. Rukanah grabbed him and threw him
- 0:50to the ground in front of everyone.
- 0:52Then a second man stepped up, and his
- 0:54fate was the same as the first, then a
- 0:56third, then a fourth. With each victory
- 0:58, Rukanah's confidence grew more. He
- 1:01stood in the middle of the arena,
- 1:02looking at the men around him with
- 1:04great pride; he could see the fear in
- 1:06their eyes. And he knew that none of
- 1:09them had the courage to face him. He
- 1:11held his head high and said defiantly:
- 1:13Is there anyone left? Silence prevailed
- 1:15. The men looked at one another. But no
- 1:18one stepped forward. He repeated his
- 1:20challenge again: Where are the men? Who
- 1:22dares to wrestle him? The arena
- 1:24remained silent. One day, Rukanah met
- 1:26the Messenger, peace be upon him.
- 1:28Rukanah said with defiant confidence, "
- 1:31O Muhammad, if you wrestle me to the
- 1:33ground, I will believe in what you
- 1:35brought." The Messenger of Allah, peace
- 1:37be upon him, said to him, "What do you
- 1:39think, Rukanah, if I throw you down,
- 1:41will you believe in Allah and His
- 1:43Messenger?" Rukanah agreed, thinking
- 1:45that no one could defeat him. People
- 1:48gathered to watch the confrontation,
- 1:50and the wrestling began. But the
- 1:52surprise happened quickly, for the
- 1:54Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
- 1:56wrestled Rukanah and threw him to the
- 1:58ground. Rukanah stood in shock at what
- 2:00he had seen, wondering how a man not
- 2:02known for wrestling had defeated him.
- 2:05Some accounts mention that he asked for
- 2:07a rematch, and the Prophet, peace be
- 2:09upon him, threw him again. Other
- 2:11accounts even state it was repeated
- 2:13three times, though that remains a
- 2:15matter of scholarly debate. The story
- 2:18of Rukanah’s wrestling match with the
- 2:20Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
- 2:22remains one of the most famous accounts
- 2:24in the Seerah, as it showed that true
- 2:26strength is not just physical power,
- 2:28but the success and support granted by
- 2:30Allah.
