Hadith #800
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِي
رٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَنَحْنُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ { وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً } فَجَعَلْنَا نَقُولُ مَا هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَمَا نَشْعُرُ أَنَّهَا تَقَعُ حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ آخِرُ حَدِيثِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Isnad Chain
أسود بن عامر
English Translation
It was narrated from al-Hasan that az-Zubair ibn al-Awwam (رضي الله عنه) said: This verse was revealed while we were all present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively' (al-Anfal 8:25). We began saying: 'What is this trial?' — not knowing that it would fall where it fell. This is the last hadith of az-Zubair ibn al-Awwam (رضي الله تعالى عنه).
