1؎: In the references mentioned in the takhrij, it is stated that the incident pertains to the Battle of Ahzab ("Khandaq"), therefore, the mention of "Uhud" here is an error and a result of confusion.
2؎: That is, he said: "May my parents be sacrificed for you." This is a great honor for Zubair radi Allahu anhu. Further in the hadith, this virtue is also attained by Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhu, but there, Ali radi Allahu anhu restricted this virtue specifically to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhu. The reconciliation in this matter is that it was according to the knowledge of Ali radi Allahu anhu; otherwise, according to authentic ahadith, this virtue is attained by both. It should be noted that in Ibn Majah, this statement regarding Zubair radi Allahu anhu is narrated on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, whereas in other references, it is in relation to the Battle of Ahzab, and it will be mentioned ahead that for Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhu, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud.

Commentary: (1) The mention of parents and the meaning of combining them is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam addressed Zubair bin al-Awwam radi Allahu anhu and said: “My mother and father be sacrificed for you.” Due to his bravery in battle, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used these words to encourage him. It is narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also combined his parents for Zubair when he brought news about Banu Qurayza. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Virtues of the Companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Chapter: The Virtues of Az-Zubair...etc., Hadith: 3720)
(2) During the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said to Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhu: “Shoot (arrows)! My mother and father be sacrificed for you.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Manners, Chapter: The Statement of a Man, ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you’, Hadith: 6184)
(3) Both Zubair and Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhuma are included among the ten who were given glad tidings of Paradise (al-‘asharah al-mubashsharah).

´Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:` from Az-Zubair, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gathered together his parents for me the Day of Quraizah, (i.e. the battle of Ahzab) and said: 'May my mother and father be ransomed for you.'"
