1266 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: نَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا، وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ» وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: زَادَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ: «وَابْنُ عَمَّتِي»
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of the Trench, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called for people (to spy on the enemy), so Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) volunteered himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for people again, and he volunteered himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for them again, so Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) volunteered himself. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every prophet has a disciple, and my disciple is Zubair." Sufyan says: The narrator named Hisham bin Urwah has additionally reported these words: "He is my maternal cousin (Zubair)."
