English translation

3973. 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.(1) He received two of those wounds on the day of (the battle of) Badr and one on the day of (the battle of) Al-Yarmūk. When 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair was killed, 'Abdul-Mālik bin Marwān 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 (the battle of) Badr." 'Abdul-Mālik said, "You are right! (i.e., their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the enemies." Then 'Abdul-Mālik returned that sword to me (i.e., 'Urwa). Hishām, 'Urwa's son, said, "We estimated the price of the sword as three thousand (Dīnār) and after that it was taken by one of us (i.e., the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it."

3973 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي الزُّبَيْرِ ثَلَاثُ ضَرَبَاتٍ بِالسَّيْفِ إِحْدَاهُنَّ فِي عَاتِقِهِ» قَالَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعِي فِيهَا» قَالَ: «ضُرِبَ ثِنْتَيْنِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَوَاحِدَةً يَوْمَ اليَرْمُوكِ» قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: وَقَالَ لِي عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، حِينَ قُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ: يَا عُرْوَةُ، هَلْ تَعْرِفُ سَيْفَ الزُّبَيْرِ؟ قُلْتُ: «نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَمَا فِيهِ؟ قُلْتُ: «فِيهِ فَلَّةٌ فُلَّهَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، [البحر الطويل] بِهِنَّ فُلُولٌ مِنْ قِرَاعِ الكَتَائِبِ ، ثُمَّ رَدَّهُ عَلَى عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ: فَأَقَمْنَاهُ بَيْنَنَا ثَلاَثَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَخَذَهُ بَعْضُنَا، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَخَذْتُهُ
