An elder who came from Mosul narrates: I accompanied Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) on one of his journeys. He became in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) in a barren, waterless place, and he said: "Screen me." So I screened him. When I glanced at his body, I saw that it bore many marks of swords. I said: "By Allah! I see a great many scars on you; I have never seen so many on anyone." He asked: "Have you seen them?" I replied: "Yes." He said: "By Allah! Every one of these wounds was received with the Messenger of Allah (while fighting alongside him) and in the path of Allah."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. I do not know the elder from Mosul; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
