Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used to insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day of Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When 'Abdullah bin Zubair was killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you recognize the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said, "Yes." He said, "What marks does it have?" I replied, "It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in it on the day of Badr." 'Abdul- Malik said, "You are right! (i.e. their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the enemies Then 'Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa). (Hisham, 'Urwa's son said, "We estimated the price of the sword as three-thousand (Dinars) and after that it was taken by one of us (i.e. the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.")

Hadith Commentary: Yarmouk was the name of a village in the region of al-Sham (Greater Syria). There, during the caliphate of Umar radi Allahu anhu in the year 15 AH, a battle took place between the Muslims and the Christians. The commander of the Muslims was Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah radi Allahu anhu, and the commander of the Christians was Bahān. In this battle, seventy thousand Christians were killed and forty thousand were taken captive, while four thousand Muslims were martyred. One hundred of the Companions who had participated in the Battle of Badr were present in this battle.
