Chapter 64: Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi)
Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars
caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used to
insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day of
Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When 'Abdullah bin Zubair was
killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you recognize
the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said, "Yes." He said, "What marks does it
have?" I replied, "It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in
it on the day of Badr." 'Abdul- Malik said, "You are right! (i. e.
their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the
enemies Then 'Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i. e. Urwa).
(Hisham, 'Urwa' s son said, "We estimated the price of the sword as
three-thousand (Dinars) and after that it was taken by one of us (i. e.
the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.")
