The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Zubayr on the day of Yarmuk, "Why don't you charge so we may charge with you?"He replied, "If I charge, you will not hold your ground."They said, "We will not fail you."So he charged at the enemy until he broke through their ranks and passed beyond them, with no one accompanying him. Then he turned back, and they seized his bridle and struck him twice on his shoulder, with the wound he had received on the day of Badr between the two new wounds.Urwa said, "I used to put my fingers into those gashes and play with them when I was a small boy."Urwa also said, "Abdullah bin Zubayr was with him that day, and he was ten years old. So Zubayr mounted him on a horse and assigned a man to look after him."
