It is narrated from Abu Jarw al-Mazini (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I was present (on the battlefield) when Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) came face to face with each other. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O Zubayr! I ask you by Allah, did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'You will surely fight Ali while you are in the wrong (in your position) at that time'?" He replied: "Yes, and this did not come to my mind until I came to stand here in this place." Then he (as soon as he remembered it) went back (from the field).
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this hadith in his Musnad; furthermore, Imam al-Hakim recorded it in 'al-Mustadrak' and declared it sahih (authentic), and Allamah al-Busiri declared its chain hasan (good) in 'Ithaf al-Khiyarah al-Maharah'.
