Zubayr was the first Muslim to draw his sword valiantly in defense against the violence of the non-believers. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said that on the day of the Battle of Badr, the angels descended in the image of Zubayr.9 He also said in the Qurayza Campaign, “Each prophet has an apostle, and my apostle is Zubayr.”10 He was one of the ten Companions who were blessed with the good news of heaven while they were still alive.
