It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The cities belong to Allah and the servants belong to Allah, so wherever you see goodness, settle there."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this verse in the plain of Arafat: «﴿شَهِدَ اللّٰهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾ [آل عمران: 18] » "Allah bears witness that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge, maintaining [His creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "O Lord! I also bear witness to this."

Umm ‘Ata and others say: By Allah! It feels as if we can still see Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), when he came to us riding on his white mule and said: O Umm ‘Ata! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the Muslims from eating the meat of their sacrificial animals for more than three days. I said: May my father be sacrificed for you, if sacrificial meat comes to us as a gift from somewhere, what should we do with it? He replied: Whatever comes to you as a gift, you have discretion regarding it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, I and Umar bin Abi Salamah were on the hill called Atm Hassaan, in which the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were present. (Sometimes he would lift me up high and sometimes I would lift him up high. When he would lift me up high,) I used to recognize my father when he passed by Banu Qurayza. On his return, I said to my father,“Dear father! By Allah! I recognized you at that time when you were walking around.”He said,“Son! Did you really see me?”I said,“Yes!”He said,“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: ‘Who will go to Banu Qurayza and bring me their news?’ I went, and when I returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that moment gathered his parents for me and said: ‘May my mother and father be sacrificed for you.’”

Sufyan bin Wahb Khawlani (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when we conquered the land of Egypt by the sword, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him)—who was the conqueror of Egypt and the commander of the Muslim army—"O Amr bin Al-Aas! Distribute it." He replied, "I will not distribute it yet." Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) swore an oath and said, "You will have to distribute it just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed Khaybar." He said, "I cannot distribute it before corresponding with the Commander of the Faithful." So they wrote a letter of this nature to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and the reply came from there: "Keep it as it is (leave it as it is) until the next generation participates in the battle."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), after returning from a battle, gave him a share from the spoils of war. He also gave a share to his mother, and allotted two shares for the horse (i.e., every horseman was given two shares, and every foot soldier was given one share).

Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, says that a man came to Sayyiduna Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "Shall I finish off Ali?" He replied, "Absolutely not! And besides, he has such a large army with him that you cannot kill him anyway." The man said, "Then will you go to him and dispute with him regarding the matter of the caliphate?" He replied, "That too is not possible because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Faith has shackled the feet of dispute, therefore a believer is not quarrelsome.'"

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that I asked my father, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), "Why do you not narrate the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Since I accepted Islam, I have never been separated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever deliberately attributes a false statement to me, he should make his abode in the Hellfire.'" (That is why I am afraid.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is better for a person to pick up his rope, gather firewood with it, bring it to the market, place it there, and sell it, thereby attaining self-sufficiency and spending on himself, rather than going around asking people, whether they give him or not."
