Hadith 1405
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ : ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ سورة الزمر آية 31 ، قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَعَ خُصُومَتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " , وَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ سورة التكاثر آية 8 ، قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ نَعِيمٍ نُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ ، وَإِنَّمَا يَعْنِي : هُمَا الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ ؟ , قَالَ : " أَمَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ سَيَكُونُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: «ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ» [الزمر : 31] "Then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute before your Lord," he asked: O Messenger of Allah! Is the disputing meant here the disputing with opponents in this world? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Then when this verse was revealed: «ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ» [التكاثر : 8] "On that Day you will surely be questioned about the blessings," Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah! About which blessings will we be questioned? When all we have is dates and water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware! The time of blessings is also soon to come."
Hadith 1406
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ , سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , يَقُولُ : لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَطَلْحَةَ , وَالزُّبَيْرِ , وَسَعْدٍ , نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي تَقُومُ بِهِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ ، وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً : الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ أَعَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ " إِنَّا لَا نُورَثُ ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ " , قَالَ : قَالُوا : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ .
Once, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf, Sayyiduna Talha, Sayyiduna Zubair, and Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with them): I ask you by Allah and by the One by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is all charity”? They replied in the affirmative.
Hadith 1407
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْ يَحْمِلَ الرَّجُلُ حَبْلًا فَيَحْتَطِبَ ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءَ فَيَضَعَهُ فِي السُّوقِ فَيَبِيعَهُ ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ ، فَيُنْفِقَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ، أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ مَنَعُوهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is better for a person to pick up his rope, gather firewood with it, bring it to the market, place it there, and sell it, thereby attaining self-sufficiency and spending on himself, than to go around asking people, whether they give him or not."
Hadith 1408
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : جَمَعَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَوَيْهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ .
Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) combined his parents for me. (That is, he said to me: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you.")
Hadith 1409
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَنْدَقِ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَعُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فِي الْأُطُمِ الَّذِي فِيهِ نِسَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أُطُمِ حَسَّانَ ، فَكَانَ يَرْفَعُنِي وَأَرْفَعُهُ ، فَإِذَا رَفَعَنِي عَرَفْتُ أَبِي حِينَ يَمُرُّ إِلَى بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ، وَكَانَ يُقَاتِلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ يَأْتِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَيُقَاتِلَهُمْ ؟ " , فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حِينَ رَجَعَ : يَا أَبَة ، إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَعْرِفُكَ حِينَ تَمُرُّ ذَاهِبًا إِلَى بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ , فَقَالَ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَجْمَعُ لِي أَبَوَيْهِ جَمِيعًا يُفَدِّانِي بِهِمَا , يَقُول : " فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, I and Umar bin Abi Salamah were on a mound called Atm Hassaan, in which the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were present. Sometimes he would lift me up high, and sometimes I would lift him up high. When he lifted me up high, I used to recognize my father when he passed by Banu Qurayzah. He was participating in jihad with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of the Battle of the Trench, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "Who will go to Banu Qurayzah and fight them?" On his return, I said to my father, "Dear father! By Allah! I recognized you at that time when you were going towards Banu Qurayzah." He replied, "Son! On that occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered his parents for me and said, 'May my mother and father be sacrificed for you.'"
Hadith 1410
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا : غَمْرَةُ ، أَوْ غَمْرَاءُ ، َقَالَ : فَوَجَدَ فَرَسًا أَوْ مُهْرًا يُبَاعُ ، فَنُسِبَتْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْفَرَسِ ، فَنُهِيَ عَنْهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he once mounted a man on a horse in the way of Allah, meaning he made him its owner. The horse's name was Ghamrah or Ghamra’. After some time, that same horse or one of its offspring was found being sold. Since it was attributed to the same horse which he had given in charity, he was forbidden from buying it again.
Hadith 1411
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ، ثُمَّ نَنْصَرِفُ فَنَبْتَدِرُ الْآجَامَ ، فَلَا نَجِدُ إِلَّا قَدْرَ مَوْضِعِ أَقْدَامِنَا , قَالَ يَزِيدُ : الْآجَامُ : هِيَ الْآطَامُ .
Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we used to perform the Friday prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and after returning, we would begin scattering seeds in the sand dunes. At that time, we would find no shade except for the place of our own feet.
Hadith 1412
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ شَيْبَانُ , عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ دَاءُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ : الْحَسَدُ وَالْبَغْضَاءُ ، وَالْبَغْضَاءُ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ ، حَالِقَةُ الدِّينِ ، لَا حَالِقَةُ الشَّعَرِ ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ ، لَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا ، أَفَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ ، إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The diseases of the previous nations, that is, envy and hatred, have also crept into you, and hatred is something that shaves—it does not shave hair, but it shaves the religion. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! You cannot become complete believers until you love one another. Shall I not tell you a way, which if you adopt, you will begin to love one another? Spread the greeting of peace among yourselves."
Hadith 1413
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْه : مَا لِي لَا أَسْمَعُكَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا أَسْمَعُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَفُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُفَارِقْهُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ ، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً " مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that I asked my father, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), "Why is it that, unlike Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and other companions whom I hear narrating hadith, I do not hear you narrating?" He replied, "Since I accepted Islam, I have never been separated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me, let him take his seat in the Hellfire.' (That is why I am afraid)."
Hadith 1414
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيد مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَدَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا لِلزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ ؟ ضَيَّعْتُمْ الْخَلِيفَةَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ بِدَمِهِ ؟ قَالَ الزُّبَيْر رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : إِنَّا قَرَأْنَاهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ ، وَعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ , وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً سورة الأنفال آية 25 ، لَمْ نَكُنْ نَحْسَبُ أَنَّا أَهْلُهَا حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ مِنَّا حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ .
Mutarrif says that once we said to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Abdullah! For what purpose have you people come? You people lost a caliph until he was martyred, and now you are demanding retribution for him?" Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq, and Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with them), we used to recite this verse of the Qur'an: «﴿وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً﴾ [الأنفال : 25]» 'And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively (but will affect everyone),' but we did not think that it would apply to us, until this trial befell us."
Hadith 1415
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كُنَاسَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " غَيِّرُوا الشَّيْبَ ، وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِالْيَهُودِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You may change the whiteness of your hair, but avoid imitating the Jews even in this matter."
Hadith 1416
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مَخْزُومِيٌّ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بن عَبْد الله بْنِ إِنْسَانَ ، قَالَ : وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ لَيْلَةٍ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا عِنْدَ السِّدْرَةِ ، وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَرَفِ الْقَرْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ حَذْوَهَا ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ نَخِبًا بِبَصَرِهِ يَعْنِي : وَادِيًا وَوَقَفَ حَتَّى اتَّقَفَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنَّ صَيْدَ وَجٍّ , وَعِضَاهَهُ حَرَمٌ مُحَرَّمٌ لِلَّهِ " وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ نُزُولِهِ الطَّائِفَ وَحِصَارِهِ ثَقِيفَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were coming from a place called Laylah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached near a berry tree, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on one side of a mountain called Qarn Aswad, facing it, and looked towards the valley of Nakhb and stood there for a while. All the people also stopped there. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The game of Wajj—which is the name of a valley in Ta’if—and every thorny tree is included in the Haram, and to hunt or cut it is forbidden in obedience to Allah’s command." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this before reaching Ta’if and besieging Banu Thaqif.
Hadith 1417
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ يَوْمَئِذٍ : " أَوْجَبَ طَلْحَةُ " , حِينَ صَنَعَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا صَنَعَ ، يَعْنِي : حِينَ بَرَكَ لَهُ طَلْحَةُ ، فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say on the day when Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) served the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the way that he did—that is, he sat down bending in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mounted his back—“Talha has made Paradise obligatory for himself.”
Hadith 1418
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَقْبَلَتْ امْرَأَةٌ تَسْعَى ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَادَتْ أَنْ تُشْرِفَ عَلَى الْقَتْلَى ، قَالَ : فَكَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَرَاهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : " الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَرْأَةَ " , قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : فَتَوَسَّمْتُ أَنَّهَا أُمِّي صَفِيَّةُ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَيْهَا ، فَأَدْرَكْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْقَتْلَى ، قَالَ : فَلَدَمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي ، وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً جَلْدَةً ، قَالَتْ : إِلَيْكَ ، لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَزَمَ عَلَيْكِ , قَالَ : فَوَقَفَتْ ، وَأَخْرَجَتْ ثَوْبَيْنِ مَعَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : هَذَانِ ثَوْبَانِ , جِئْتُ بِهِمَا لِأَخِي حَمْزَةَ ، فَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَقْتَلُهُ ، فَكَفِّنُوهُ فِيهِمَا , قَالَ : فَجِئْنَا بِالثَّوْبَيْنِ لِنُكَفِّنَ فِيهِمَا حَمْزَةَ ، فَإِذَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَتِيلٌ ، قَدْ فُعِلَ بِهِ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِحَمْزَةَ ، قَالَ : فَوَجَدْنَا غَضَاضَةً وَحَيَاءً أَنْ نُكَفِّنَ حَمْزَةَ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ ، وَالْأَنْصَارِيُّ لَا كَفَنَ لَهُ ، فَقُلْنَا لِحَمْزَةَ ثَوْبٌ ، وَلِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ ثَوْبٌ ، فَقَدَرْنَاهُمَا فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ ، فَأَقْرَعْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا ، فَكَفَّنَّا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي طَارَ لَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the end of the Battle of Uhud, a woman was seen coming quickly from the front. She was about to see the bodies of the martyrs, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not like that the woman should see them, so he said, "Stop this woman, stop this woman." Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I realized that this was my mother, Sayyida Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), so I ran towards her and reached her before she could get to the bodies of the martyrs. When she saw me, she struck me on the chest with both hands and pushed me back. She was a strong woman and said, "Move aside, I am not talking to you." I said, "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has made you swear not to look at these bodies." As soon as she heard this, she stopped and took out two pieces of cloth she had with her and said, "These are two cloths I have brought for my brother Hamza, for I have already received news of his martyrdom. Shroud him in these cloths." When we began to shroud Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) in those two cloths, we saw that next to him lay an Ansari who had been treated in the same way as Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him). We felt ashamed to shroud Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) in two cloths while the Ansari did not even have one. Therefore, we decided to shroud Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) in one cloth and the Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) in the other. Upon estimation, we found that one of the two was taller, so we drew lots, and whichever name came up for each cloth, we shrouded him in that cloth.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ , أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ , أَنَّهُ خَاصَمَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شِرَاجِ الْحَرَّةِ ، كَانَا يَسْتَقِيَانِ بِهَا كِلَاهُمَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : " اسْقِ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى جَارِكَ " , فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ , وَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ ! فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : " اسْقِ ، ثُمَّ احْبِسْ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ " , فَاسْتَوْعَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَئِذٍ لِلزُّبَيْرِ حَقَّهُ ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أَشَارَ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِرَأْيٍ أَرَادَ فِيهِ سَعَةً لَهُ وَلِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، فَلَمَّا أَحْفَظَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، اسْتَوْعَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ حَقَّهُ فِي صَرِيحِ الْحُكْمِ , قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَحْسِبُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أُنْزِلَتْ إِلَّا فِي ذَلِكَ فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا سورة النساء آية 65 .
Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate that once he had a dispute with an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him)—who was among the participants of the Battle of Badr—regarding the water channel from which both of them irrigated their respective fields, in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ended the matter by saying: "Zubair! Water your field first, then leave the water for your neighbor." The Ansari was displeased at this and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is it because he is your cousin that you are giving this decision?" At this, the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed color, and he said to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him): "Now water your field and withhold the water until it reaches the embankment." Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) his full right, whereas previously the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had advised Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) in a way that allowed room and leniency for both him and the Ansari. But when the Ansari expressed his reservations before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a clear ruling and granted Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) his full right. Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! I believe that the following verse was revealed regarding this incident: «﴿فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا﴾ [النساء : 65]» "But no, by your Lord, they will not (truly) believe until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, then find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept them with full submission."
Hadith 1420

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The cities belong to Allah and the servants belong to Allah, so wherever you see goodness, settle there."
Hadith 1421
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى مَوْلَى آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ : شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ وَالْمَلائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ سورة آل عمران آية 18 ، " وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ يَا رَبِّ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this verse in the plain of Arafat: «﴿شَهِدَ اللّٰهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾ [آل عمران : 18]» "Allah bears witness that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge, maintaining [His creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "O Lord! I also bear witness to this."
Hadith 1422
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَطَاءِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ , وَجَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ عَطَاءٍ ، قَالَتَا : وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حِينَ أَتَانَا عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ بَيْضَاءَ , فَقَالَ : يَا أُمَّ عَطَاءٍ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَد نَهَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ نُسُكِهِمْ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِمَا أُهْدِيَ لَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ : أَمَّا مَا أُهْدِيَ لَكُنَّ ، فَشَأْنَكُنَّ بِهِ .
Umm ‘Ata and others say: By Allah! It feels as if we can still see Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), when he came to us riding on his white mule and said: O Umm ‘Ata! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the Muslims from eating the meat of their sacrificial animals for more than three days. I said: May my father be sacrificed for you, if sacrificial meat comes to us as a gift from somewhere, what should we do with it? He replied: Whatever comes to you as a gift, you have discretion regarding it.
Hadith 1423
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْر رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ جُعِلْتُ أَنَا وَعُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ ، فَنَظَرْتُ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ، مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ , قُلْتُ : يَا أَبَةِ ، رَأَيْتُكَ تَخْتَلِفُ , قَالَ : وَهَلْ رَأَيْتَنِي يَا بُنَيَّ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ , قَالَ : فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَنْ يَأْتِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَيَأْتِيَنِي بِخَبَرِهِمْ ؟ " , فَانْطَلَقْتُ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ ، جَمَعَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَوَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : " فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, I and Umar bin Abi Salamah were on the hill called Atm Hassaan, in which the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were present. (Sometimes he would lift me up high and sometimes I would lift him up high. When he would lift me up high,) I used to recognize my father when he passed by Banu Qurayza. On his return, I said to my father, “Dear father! By Allah! I recognized you at that time when you were walking around.” He said, “Son! Did you really see me?” I said, “Yes!” He said, “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: ‘Who will go to Banu Qurayza and bring me their news?’ I went, and when I returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that moment gathered his parents for me and said: ‘May my mother and father be sacrificed for you.’”
Hadith 1424
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ , يَقُولُ : لَمَّا افْتَتَحْنَا مِصْرَ بِغَيْرِ عَهْدٍ , قَامَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، اقْسِمْهَا , فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو : لَا أَقْسِمُهَا ، فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : وَاللَّهِ لَتَقْسِمَنَّهَا كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ , قَالَ عَمْرٌو : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْسِمُهَا حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ , فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ : أَنْ أَقِرَّهَا حَتَّى يَغْزُوَ مِنْهَا حَبَلُ الْحَبَلَةِ " .
Sufyan bin Wahb Khawlani (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when we conquered the land of Egypt by the sword, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him)—who was the conqueror of Egypt and the commander of the Muslim army—"O Amr bin Al-Aas! Distribute it." He replied, "I will not distribute it yet." Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) swore an oath and said, "You will have to distribute it just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed Khaybar." He said, "I cannot distribute it before corresponding with the Commander of the Faithful." So they wrote a letter of this nature to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and the reply came from there: "Keep it as it is (leave it as it is) until the next generation participates in the battle."
Hadith 1425
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى الزُّبَيْرَ سَهْمًا ، وَأُمَّهُ سَهْمًا ، وَفَرَسَهُ سَهْمَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), after returning from a battle, gave him a share from the spoils of war. He also gave a share to his mother, and allotted two shares for the horse (i.e., every horseman was given two shares, and every foot soldier was given one share).
Hadith 1426
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ , فَقَالَ : أَلَا أَقْتُلُ لَكَ عَلِيًّا ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، وَكَيْفَ تَقْتُلُهُ وَمَعَهُ الْجُنُودُ ؟ قَالَ : أَلْحَقُ بِهِ فَأَفْتِكُ بِهِ , قَالَ : لَا ، إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ " إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ قَيْدُ الْفَتْكِ ، لَا يَفْتِكُ مُؤْمِنٌ " .
Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, says that a man came to Sayyiduna Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "Shall I finish off Ali?" He replied, "Absolutely not! And besides, he has such a large army with him that you cannot kill him anyway." The man said, "Then will you go to him and dispute with him regarding the matter of the caliphate?" He replied, "That too is not possible because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Faith has shackled the feet of dispute, therefore a believer is not quarrelsome.'"
Hadith 1427
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ , قَالَ : أَتَى رَجُلٌ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ , فَقَالَ : أَلَا أَقْتُلُ لَكَ عَلِيًّا ؟ قَالَ : وَكَيْفَ تَسْتَطِيعُ قَتْلَهُ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ ؟ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that I asked my father, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), "Why do you not narrate the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Since I accepted Islam, I have never been separated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever deliberately attributes a false statement to me, he should make his abode in the Hellfire.'" (That is why I am afraid.)
Hadith 1429
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ : عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَحْبُلَهُ ، فَيَأْتِيَ الْجَبَلَ فَيَجِيءَ بِحُزْمَةٍ مِنْ حَطَبٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهَا ، فَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِثَمَنِهَا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ، أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ مَنَعُوهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is better for a person to pick up his rope, gather firewood with it, bring it to the market, place it there, and sell it, thereby attaining self-sufficiency and spending on himself, rather than going around asking people, whether they give him or not."
Hadith 1430
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، أَنَّ يَعِيشَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِآلِ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ , أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " دَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ دَاءُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ الْحَسَدُ ، وَالْبَغْضَاءُ ، وَالْبَغْضَاءُ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ ، لَا أَقُولُ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، أَوْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ ، لَا تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا ، وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا ، أَفَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا يُثَبِّتُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The diseases of the previous nations, that is, envy and malice, have also crept into you, and malice is something that shaves off—not the hair, but the religion. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! You cannot enter Paradise until you become complete believers, and you cannot become complete believers until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread the greeting of peace among yourselves."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ , قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ , ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ سورة الزمر آية 30 - 31 ، قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُكَرَّرُ عَلَيْنَا مَا كَانَ بَيْنَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعَ خَوَاصِّ الذُّنُوبِ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ , لَيُكَرَّرَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى يُؤَدَّى إِلَى كُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقُّهُ " , فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ لَشَدِيدٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: «إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ ٭ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ» [الزمر : 30-31] "Indeed, you will die and indeed, they (too) will die. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute before your Lord." He asked: O Messenger of Allah! Does it mean disputing with people in this world along with sins? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, this dispute will happen again until the rightful person is given his due." Upon this, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! This is a very severe matter.
Hadith 1435
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , قَالَ عَمْرٌو : وَسَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ : وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ سورة الأحقاف آية 29 ، وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ , عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ سورة الأحقاف آية 29 ، قَالَ : بِنَخْلَةَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي العشاء الآخرة كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا سورة الجن آية 19 , قال سفيان : كاللبد بعضهم على بعض ، كاللبد بعضه على بعض .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the mention in the Noble Qur'an of the jinn listening to the Holy Qur'an is related to the valley of Nakhlah, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was offering the Isha prayer. And while explaining the Qur'anic verse: «﴿كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا﴾ [الجن : 19]», Sufyan says that they were coming upon each other in heaps (that is, when the polytheists saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) engaged in worship, they would crowd together in such a way that it seemed as if they were about to attack, and it felt like an attack could happen at any moment).
Hadith 1436
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ , حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , يَقُولُ : كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ، ثُمَّ نُبَادِرُ فَمَا نَجِدُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ أَقْدَامِنَا , أَوْ قَالَ : فَمَا نَجِدُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ مَوْضِعَ أَقْدَامِنَا .
Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we used to perform the Friday prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), (and after returning, we would scatter seeds in the sand dunes), and at that time, we would find no shade except for the place of our own feet.
Hadith 1437
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلِمَةَ أَوْ مَسْلَمَةَ ، قَالَ كَثِيرٌ : وَحِفْظِي سَلِمَةَ , عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَوْ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُنَا ، فَيُذَكِّرُنَا بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى نَعْرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَكَأَنَّهُ نَذِيرُ قَوْمٍ يُصَبِّحُهُمْ الْأَمْرُ غُدْوَةً ، وَكَانَ إِذَا كَانَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِجِبْرِيلَ لَمْ يَتَبَسَّمْ ضَاحِكًا حَتَّى يَرْتَفِعَ عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would advise us and warn us of Allah’s punishment, its effects would be visible on his blessed face, and it would seem as if he was warning a people whose matter would be decided in the morning. And when there had been a recent meeting with Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not laugh until the effects of the state of revelation had passed.
Hadith 1438
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ , قَالَ : قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ : نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَنَحْنُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً سورة الأنفال آية 25 ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَقُولُ مَا هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةُ ؟ وَمَا نَشْعُرُ أَنَّهَا تَقَعُ حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed, there was a good number of us with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): «﴿وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً﴾ [الأنفال : 25]» "Beware of a trial which will not only afflict those among you who have done wrong (but will be general)." So we began to ask, "What will this trial be?" But we did not think that it would apply to us, until that trial befell us.
