Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam (594–656) (الزبير بن العوام بن خويلد) was a companion of Muhammad and a commander in the Rashidun army. ==Family and Childhood== Al-Zubayr was born in Mecca in 594.〔Muhammad ibn Saad, ''Tabaqat'' vol. 3. Translated by Bewley, A. (2013). ''The Companions of Badr'', p. 75. London: Ta-Ha Publishers.〕 His father was Al-Awam ibn Khuwaylid of the Asad clan of the Quraysh tribe, making Al-Zubayr a nephew of Khadijah. His mother was Muhammad’s aunt, Safiyyah bint ‘Abd al-Muttalib, hence Al-Zubayr was Muhammad’s first cousin.〔Ibn Saad/Bewley (2013) p. 75.〕 He had two brothers, Saayib and Abdulkaaba; a maternal brother, Safi ibn Al-Harith, who was from the Umayya clan;〔 Muhammad ibn Saad, ''Tabaqat'' vol. 8. Translated by Bewley, A. (1995). ''The Women of Madina'', p. 29. London: Ta-Ha Publishers.〕 and several paternal siblings, including Hind bint Al-Awwam, a wife of Zayd ibn Haritha.〔Ibn Saad/Bewley (2013) p. 32.〕 While he was still a boy, Al-Zubayr fought an adult man and beat him up so fiercely that the man’s hand was broken. Safiya, who was pregnant at the time, had to carry the man home. When the passers-by asked what had happened, she told them, “He fought Al-Zubayr. Did you find Al-Zubayr soft like cheese or dates or full of brass?”〔Ibn Saad/Bewley (2013) p. 76.〕 Al-Awam died while Al-Zubayr was still young. His mother used to beat him severely. When it was said to her, “You have killed him! You have wrenched his heart. Will you destroy the boy?” she replied, “I beat him so that he will be intelligent and will be bold in the battle.”〔Ibn Saad/Bewley (2013) p. 76.〕 Al-Zubayr is described as of medium height, lean, dark-complexioned and hairy, though with a thin beard. His hair hung down to his shoulders, and he did not dye it after it turned white.〔Ibn Saad/Bewley (2013) p. 80.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zubayr ibn al-Awam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
