About this video

When one verse felt too heavy, the companions answered 'we hear and we obey' — and Allah revealed the last two verses of al-Baqarah, with a prayer whose every request was granted. We look at the story in Sahih Muslim, what 'they will be enough for him' means according to Imam an-Nawawi, and the reflections of Maulana Maududi and Dr Israr Ahmed.
