[Machine] And Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammās approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Grant me Zubayr al-Yahūdī and I will repay him for what he had given me on the day of the Battle of Badr." So he was given to him. Thabit continued until he reached Zubayr and said, "O Abu 'Abd al-Rahmān, do you recognize me?" He replied, "Yes, and does a man deny his brother?" Thabit said, "I intended to repay you today with a hand that I had with me on the day of the Battle of Badr." He said, "Do so, for indeed the noble one rewards the noble one." Zubayr said, "I have no leader and you have taken my wife and children." Thabit returned to Zubayr and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has returned your wife and children to you." Zubayr replied, "My reed canopy, in which I have my spear, is the only means of livelihood for me and my family." Thabit returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he granted it to him. Thabit went back to Zubayr and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has returned your family and wealth to you. So embrace Islam, and you will be safe." He said, "What have the two companions done?" And he mentioned the names of some men of his people. Thabit said, "They have been killed and none of them remains. Perhaps Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, has left you for something better." Zubayr said, "I ask you by Allah, O Thabit, and by the right of our upcoming dispute on the Day of Resurrection, have you joined them to me? For there is no good in life after them." Thabit mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered the killing of Zubayr. Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasār also mentioned it, narrating from al-Zuhrī, and he mentioned that it was Zubayr ibn Baṭā al-Qurazhī. Musa ibn 'Uqbah also mentioned it and he mentioned that Zubayr was blind on that day.
