Hadith text

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

Urwa (Az-Zubair ke bete) bataate hain: Az-Zubair ko talwar se teen zakhm mile the, jinme se ek unke kandhe par tha aur main apni ungliyaan usmein daalta tha. Unhone do zakhm Badr ki jung ke din paye aur ek Al-Yarmuk ki jung ke din. Jab Abdullah bin Zubair qatl hue, Abdul-Malik bin Marwan ne mujhse kaha, "Aye Urwa, kya aap Az-Zubair ki talwaar ko pahchante hain?" Maine kaha, "Haan." Unhone pucha, "Ismein kaunse nishaan hain?" Maine jawab diya, "Iske teekhe kinare mein ek daant hai jo Badr ki jung ke din bana." Abdul-Malik ne kaha, "Aap sahi hain! (Yaani unki talwaron mein) daant dushman ki fauj se takraane ki wajah se hote hain." Phir Abdul-Malik ne woh talwaar mujhe (yaani Urwa ko) wapas kar di. (Hisham, Urwa ke bete ne kaha, "Humne us talwaar ki qeemat teen hazaar (Dinar) lagaee, aur uske baad use humme se ek ne (yaani waaris ne) le liya, aur kaash woh mere paas hoti.")
