Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Abu Abdullah Hudhayfa ibn Hasl (al-Yaman) al-Absi, a great Companion and one of the early forerunners, famous as 'keeper of the Prophet ﷺ's secret' on the names of the hypocrites and the trials. He saw the Trench battle: on the night of gale, cold and darkness the Prophet picked him to slip into the Confederates' camp and bring word, praying he be kept from the cold; Hudhayfa went into Quraysh's camp, sat beside Abu Sufyan, heard him order departure for the wind and the failing horses, and returned unhurt, feeling neither cold nor fear, to tell the Prophet the enemy had fled. He saw the openings of Iraq and Fars and governed al-Mada'in for Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him); known for scruple and austerity, he died at al-Mada'in days after Uthman's killing. Shaykh Omar Abdelkafy says he was 'keeper of the Prophet's secret', told the names of the hypocrites in Medina.
