“Every prophet had disciples; my disciple is Al-Zubair.” What actions of Al-Zubair ibn Al-Awam (ra) garnered this praise from the Prophet (s)? It was his readiness to defend Rasulullah even in the face of life-threatening situations. At the Battle of Badr, Al-Zubair was the first to draw his sword, and even the angels took notice. As Jibreel (as) and the angels arrived on the battlefield, they donned the turban of Al-Zubair to honor his bravery.
