Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1645 — Virtues of Zubair ibn al-Awwam

‘Sayyiduna Urwah bin Zubair says that’ Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: By Allah, both your fathers (that is, Zubair and Abu Bakr) are among those mentioned in this verse, that is, “those who obeyed Allah and His Messenger even after being wounded.” (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, was Urwah’s maternal grandfather and Sayyiduna Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him, was his father. But a grandfather is also called a father.) And in another narration it is: “That is, Abu Bakr and Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both).”
