[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Buseyta to see what Abu Sufyan's camel did. So he came, and there was no one in the house except me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So he narrated the hadith to him.
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بُسَيْسَةَ عَيْنًا يَنْظُرُ مَا صَنَعَ عِيرُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ وَمَا فِي الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَهُ الْحَدِيثَ
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans), Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Who will bring us the news of the people (i.e. the clans of Quraish infidels)?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet ﷺ again said, "Who will bring us the news of the people?" AzZubair said, "I." The Prophet ﷺ again said, "Who will bring us the news of the people?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Every prophet has his Hawari (i.e. disciplespecial helper); my disciple is Az-Zubair. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4113)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ؟ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ؟ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ؟ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ
[Machine] I heard Jaabir ibn Abdullah say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called upon the people on the day of the trench, then he called upon Zubair and then he called upon him again, and then he called upon Zubair. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every prophet has disciples, and my disciple is Zubair." Sufyan said that Hisham ibn Urwah added, "And the disciples of Zubair are Ibn Ammatai."
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ يَقُولُ نَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيٌّ وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ وَابْنُ عَمَّتِي
We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa. A man said: If I were in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would have fought by his side and would have striven hard for his causes. Hudhaifa said: You might have done that, (but you should not make a flourish of your enthusiasm). I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the Battle of Abzib and we were gripped by a violent wind and severe cold. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be him) said: Hark, the man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We all kept quiet and none of us responed to him. (Again) he said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We kept quiet and none of us responded to him. He again said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgtuent by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted) Then he said: Get up Hudhaifa, bring me the news of the enemy. When he called me by name I had no alternative but to get up. He said: Go and bring me information about the enemy, and do nothing that may provoke them against me. When I left him, I felt warm as if I were walking in a heated bath untill I reached them. I saw Abu Sufyan warming his back against fire I put an arrow in the middle of the bow. intending to shoot at him, when I recalled the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ" Do not provoke them against me." Had I shot at him, I would have hit him. But I returned and (felt warm as if) I were walking in a heated bath (hammam). Presenting myself before him, I gave him information about the enemy. When I had done so, I began to feel cold, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrapped me in a blanket that he had in excess to his own requirement and with which he used to cover himself while saying his prayers. So I continued to sleep until it was morning. When it was morning he said: Get up, O heavy sleeper. (Using translation from Muslim 1788)
