حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ أَصْحَاب رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالُوا لِلزُّبَيْرِ يَوْمَ الْيَرْمُوكِ : أَلَا تَشُدُّ فَنَشُدَّ مَعَكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي إِنْ شَدَدْتُ كَذَبْتُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا نَفْعَلُ , فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى شَقَّ صُفُوفَهُمْ فَجَاوَزَهُمْ وَمَا مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ , ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مُقْبِلًا فَأَخَذُوا بِلِجَامِهِ , فَضَرَبُوهُ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ بَيْنَهُمَا ضَرْبَةٌ ضُرِبَهَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : كُنْتُ أُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعِي فِي تِلْكَ الضَّرَبَاتِ أَلْعَبُ وَأَنَا صَغِيرٌ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : وَكَانَ مَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ , فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَوَكَّلَ بِهِ رَجُلًا .
Narrated `Urwa: On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah's Apostle said to Az-Zubair, "Will you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?" Az-Zubair replied, "If I attack them, you people would not support me." They said, "No, we will support you." So Az-Zubair attacked them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his companions was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and struck him two blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar caused by a blow, he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) "Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was also with him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the care of some men.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In these narrations, when the narrator describes the feats of Hazrat Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) related to the Battle of Badr, he mentions two scars from Badr and one scar from Yarmouk. And when he describes the acts of bravery from the Battle of Yarmouk, he mentions two wounds from Yarmouk and one wound from Badr. In reality, there were a total of four wounds: two received in the Battle of Badr and two in Yarmouk.
However, of the wounds received in the Battle of Yarmouk, one was located between the two wounds from Badr, and the other was separate from the wounds of the Day of Badr. Therefore, there is no contradiction in these narrations.
The narrator who mentions one wound from Yarmouk refers to the wound that was between the wounds from the Day of Badr.
Its arrangement is as follows: Badr, Yarmouk, Badr, Yarmouk.
➋
In this hadith, the feats of Hazrat Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) at the time of Badr are mentioned, that while striking down the enemies, notches appeared in his sword. For this reason, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has narrated it.
➌
Yarmouk is the name of a place in the region of Sham (Greater Syria), which is near Damascus.
At this place, the Romans gathered their forces from all sides to confront (the Muslims).
Among them, seventy thousand Romans had chained themselves together so that none of them could flee. Their army numbered close to two million.
Of them, one hundred and five thousand Romans were killed.
Forty thousand were taken captive, and the rest fled, while the number of Muslims was four hundred thousand.
In this battle, one hundred Companions (radi Allahu anhum) from among the people of Badr participated. The Battle of Yarmouk took place in 13 AH during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu).
The commander of the Muslims in this battle was Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (radi Allahu anhu). Allah Ta'ala granted the Muslims victory in this battle.
