Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34339 — What I have memorised on al-Zubayr

Urwah said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the Battle of the Trench: "Who will go and bring me news of Banu Qurayzah?" So Sayyiduna Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted and brought their news. Then he returned, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "Who will bring me their news?" Each time Sayyiduna Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, I will bring it." Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) combined his parents for Sayyiduna Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Every prophet has a devoted disciple (hawari), and my devoted disciple is Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he is the son of my paternal aunt."
