مُسْنَدُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 27
Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported:
“On the day of the Battle of the Trench (al-Khandaq), the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) called for a volunteer, and al-Zubayr came forward. He called again, and al-Zubayr came forward. He called a third time, and al-Zubayr came forward. The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) then said: ‘Every prophet has a ḥawārī [devoted helper and disciple], and my ḥawārī is al-Zubayr.’” Sufyān added: “I heard Ibn al-Munkadir narrate this in this very mosque.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 27
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: نَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَ النَّاسَ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَ النَّاسَ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا، وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ.» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ.
