There were three sword strikes on Zubayr, one of which was on his shoulder. He said, "I used to put my fingers into it." He said that two of the strikes were inflicted on the day of Badr, and one on the day of Yarmuk.Urwa said that Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to him after Abdullah bin Zubayr was killed, "Urwa, do you recognize Zubayr's sword?"I replied, "Yes."He asked, "What mark is on it?"I said, "It has a notch made on the day of Badr."He said, "You have spoken the truth."
كان في الزبير ثلاث ضربات بالسيف، إحداهن في عاتقه قال: إن كنت لأدخل أصابعي فيها، قال: ضرب ثنتين يوم بدر، وواحدة يوم اليرموك، قال عروة: وقال لي عبد الملك بن مروان حين قتل عبد الله بن الزبير: يا عروة هل تعرف سيف الزبير؟ قلت: نعم قال: فما فيه؟ قلت: فيه فلة فلها يوم بدر قال: صدقت.
Bukhari reported it in al-Maghazi (3973) from Ibrahim bin Musa, who said, Hisham bin Yusuf reported to us, from Maamar, from Hisham, from Urwa, who said, and then he related it.Regarding his statement, "He was struck twice on the day of Badr, and once on the day of Yarmuk," it was mentioned earlier in the narration of Ibn Mubarak that he was struck twice on the day of Yarmuk on his shoulder, and between them was a strike he had received on the day of Badr. Hafiz said in al-Fath (7/299), "If this is a discrepancy in the narration from Hisham, then the narration of Ibn Mubarak is more firmly established, because there is some criticism regarding the hadith of Maamar from Hisham. Otherwise, it is possible that he was also struck twice elsewhere than on his shoulder, and thus the two reports could be reconciled in this way." End of quote.And "Zubayr's sword was adorned with silver." Bukhari reported this in al-Maghazi (3974) from Farwa (that is, bin Mighra), from Ali (that is, bin Mushir), from Hisham (that is, bin Urwa), from his father, who said, and then he related it. And Hisham said, "Urwa's sword was adorned with silver."
