Az-Zubair embraced Islam at the age of fifteen, although he was still young, he was a strong believer, fully convinced, for he had suffered a lot for the sake of Islam in spite of his well known family name and his honor.
His uncle used to wrap him in a burning straw mat until the smoke came out of it and he almost suffocated, and tried to force him to disbelief in Prophet Mohammad and Allah.
Az-Zubair would say: By Allah no� I would never return to Kufr (non believing)..
Az Zubair had immigrated in the two immigrations, to Ethiopia, then to Al-Madinah. He was the first one to use a sword to fight in the Cause of Allah and that was in Mekkah before the Muslims were ordered to fight.
There had been a rumor that the non-believers had captured Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), and quickly Az Zubair took his sword and went out assaulting, and walking through Mekkah, wishing to kill Mekkah's non-believers from Quraish.
And when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) saw him, he asked him: "What is wrong with you Zubair?!
He said: I was told that you were captured. The Prophet (PBUH) prayed that he be granted peace and blessings, and prayed for him and his mighty sword.
Az-Zubair Ibn Al 'Awwam is the nephew of 'Um Al-Mu'mineen (the mother of the believers) Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid (may Allah be pleased with her), and the son of Safiyah the Prophet's (PBUH) aunt, and the husband of Asmaa, the daughter of 'Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (one of Prophet Mohammad's "PBUH" companions).
He is among the first five men who embraced Islam. He is also one of the ten men promised to enter paradise, and one of the six Shoora (consultation) men that 'Umar Ibn Al Khattab recommended as Khalifah (Caliph).
Az-Zubair witnessed all the battles with Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). He was never reluctant nor hesitant in joining the Prophet (PBUH) in any of the battles against no- believers.
During the battle of Badr, it was said that Az Zubair tied around his head a yellow nomadic head cover, and that the angels came down from heaven looking like him.
And in the Battle of Al-Khandaq when the non-believers took control over Al-Madinah, the believers were extremely shaken. The Prophet (PBUH) called his companions and said:
"Who will bring us the news of the people in Al- Madinah?!"- Az-Zubair said: I, O Prophet of Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) asked the same question three times, and every time Az-Zubair would stand up and say: I.
So the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Every Prophet used to have a disciple), and my disciple Az-Zubair Ibn Al 'Awwam".
Az-Zubair gave the highest priority in his life to fighting in the Cause of Allah, and joining the Prophet (PBUH) in battles to fight non-believers. The Prophet (PBUH) said about him:
"Al Zubair and Talhah are my neighbors in paradise".
Az Zubair was seen during pilgrimage wearing "Ihram" clothes (pilgrimage costume). Someone saw how his body was full of wounds from the strikes of swords. He also saw in his chest what seemed like heavy deep scars from arrows and spears, so he told him:
By Allah, I have never seen a body like your body.. So Az-Zubair said: Not any of these wounds have happened except when I was in the company Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), fighting in the Cause of Allah.
In battle of Yarmuk, non- believers almost won the battle, so Az-Zubair said in a loud voice Allah-u-Akbar (Allah is Great)and took his horse and ran towards the enemies, riding through them all, and on his way back, he was cutting off their heads, overthrowing them on both sides (right and left),. Doing so he encouraged the Muslims and they started attacking the enemy in one man's power, and they won the battle by Allah's help.
Az-Zubair Ibn Al 'Awwam died as a martyr in the 33rd year of Hijrah.
Az-Zubair had one thousand slaves. They used to pay him taxes, but he never took any of it for himself, instead he gave it all in the Cause of Allah.
Seven from the Prophet's (PBUH), companions asked him to take care of their children, two of them were 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan and Al Miqdad Ibn 'Amr. He used to provide for the children from his own money, and save their parents' money for them. May Allah be pleased with him.
