٤٨۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ
[Machine] "By Allah, I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, if it is for their best interest and they are most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
«أَمَا وَاللهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَأَخْيَرَهُمْ وَأَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»
"The Messenger of Allah was one of the Ten (given glad tidings of Paradise). He said: 'Abu Bakr will be in Paradise; 'Umar will be in Paradise; 'Uthman will be in Paradise; 'Ali will be in Paradise; Talhah will be in Paradise; Zubair will be in Paradise; Sa'd will be in Paradise; 'Abdur-Rahman will be in Paradise." He was asked: 'Who will be the ninth?' He said: 'I will.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 133)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَلِيٌّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُثْمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَطَلْحَةُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالزُّبَيْرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will bring us news of the people?" Zubair said, "I will." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, every prophet has disciples, and Zubair is my disciple."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ؟» فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Al-Zubayr is my cousin and one of my companions from my Ummah."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الزُّبَيْرُ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّتِي وَحَوَارِيَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»
On the day of al-Ahzab, ʿUmar bin Abi Salamah and I were put with the women. I looked out and saw az-Zubair on his horse, coming and going from Banu Quraizah two or three times. When he came back I said: “O my father, I saw you coming and going.” He said: “Did you see me, O my son?” I said: “Yes.” He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWho would like to go to Banu Quraizah and bring me news of them?ʿ So I set out and when I came back, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned both his father and his mother for me and said: ʿMay my father and mother be sacrificed for you.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1423)
فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ يَأْتِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَيَأْتِيَنِي بِخَبَرِهِمْ؟» فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ جَمَعَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَوَيْهِ فَقَالَ «فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي»
from Az-Zubair, who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered together his parents for me the Day of Quraizah, (i.e. the battle of Ahzab) and said: 'May my mother and father be ransomed for you.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3743)
جَمَعَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَوَيْهِ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَقَالَ «فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي»
