It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) that she became pregnant with Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) in Mecca. She says: My term was complete when I set out on the journey of migration. I stayed at Quba and gave birth to the child there. I took him to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed him in his lap. The Prophet asked for dates, chewed them, and put them in the child’s mouth. The very first thing to enter his stomach was the saliva of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the tahneek of dates and prayed for blessings for him. He was the first child to be born in Islam.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I brought (my nephew) Ibn Zubair to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a chewed date and said: This is Abdullah and you are Umm Abdullah.

Urwah narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you remember that day when we came before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he made me ride on his mount and left you? It was the blessed habit of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he returned from a journey, he would be welcomed by the children.

It is narrated from Amr bin Ghalib, he says: I, Sayyiduna Ammar, and Ashtar went to the service of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Mother! Peace be upon you. Sayyidah replied: "Peace be upon him who follows guidance." Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) repeated these words of greeting two or three times, then said: By Allah! You are my mother, even if you dislike me. Sayyidah said: Who are those with you? He said: This is Ashtar. Sayyidah said: Are you not the one who intended to kill my nephew? He said: Yes! Indeed, I intended that, and he also intended to kill me. Sayyidah said: If you had done this, you would not have succeeded. And Ammar! Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the blood of a Muslim is not lawful except in three cases: if a married person commits adultery, or he becomes an apostate, or he kills someone and is killed in retaliation? (So did Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) commit any of these crimes that he was killed?)

. (Second chain) It is narrated from ‘Urwah bin Ghalib that Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Ashtar: Are you the one who intended to kill my nephew? He said: Yes, I was eager to kill him and he wanted to kill me. She said: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible in any case to shed the blood of a Muslim except if he becomes an apostate, or commits adultery while being married, or unjustly kills a Muslim.
