Description: Know, my child, that you cannot know the life of 'Abdallah Ibn az-Zoubayr, without knowing who his parents were. His father was az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam, a great companion, who was none other than the prophet's cousin. Indeed, his mother was Safiyya Bint 'Abd al-Muttalib, the Prophet's paternal aunt. Az-Zoubayr therefore knew Mohammad and enjoyed his company. When the prophet proposed to him to convert, az-Zoubayr was barely eight years old, however, he knew immediately that his cousin and friend Mohammad was really a prophet and that he was telling the truth.... His mother was happy to see that her son was following Mohammad who was a good and honest man... On the other hand his uncle who was his guardian was upset to see him change his religion...
