Hadith 1607

Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) says: On the day of the Battle of Badr, I encountered ‘Ubaydah bin Sa‘id bin ‘As, and he was so covered in armor that only his two eyes were visible, and his nickname was Abu Dhat al-Karsh. He said, “I am Abu Dhat al-Karsh.” I attacked him with my spear and struck his eye, and he died. (Sayyiduna Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him) says: When he died, I placed my foot on his corpse and, stretching out both hands, with great difficulty pulled the spear out of his eye; both its edges had become bent. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me for that spear, so I gave it to him. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, I took it back. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me for that spear, so I gave it to him. Then, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for it, and I gave it to him. Then, when Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, I took it back. Then Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for it, so I gave it to him. Then, when Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, it remained with Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his children. Finally, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) asked them for it, and it remained with him until he was martyred.
