Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ هِشَامٌ وَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ وَهْبَ بْنَ كَيْسَانَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَحَدَّثَنِي قَالَ اشْتَدَّ الْأَمْرُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَجَاءَ بِخَبَرِهِمْ ثُمَّ اشْتَدَّ الْأَمْرُ أَيْضًا فَذَكَرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ حَوَارِيَّ.
English Translation
Sulayman ibn Harb told us: Hammad ibn Zayd told us. Hisham said: I related it to Wahb ibn Kaysan, who said: I bear witness regarding Jabir ibn Abdullah, he related to me, saying: The situation grew intense on the Day of the Trench (al-Khandaq), so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Will no man bring us news of Banu Qurayzah?" So al-Zubayr set out and brought news of them. Then the situation grew intense again - this happened three times - and each time the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every prophet has a disciple, and my disciple is Ibn al-Zubayr."
