حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنَ ابْنُ جُرْمُوزٍ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَشِّرْ قَاتِلَ ابْنِ صَفِيَّةَ بِالنَّارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيًّا وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ سَمِعْت سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ الْحَوَارِيُّ النَّاصِرُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 681
It was narrated that Zirr bin Hubaish said: Ibn Jurmooz asked for permission to enter upon 'Ali (RA) when I was with him. 'Ali (RA) said: Give the killer of Ibn Safiyyah the tidings of Hell. Then 'Ali (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Every Prophet has a disciple and my disciple is az- Zubair." I heard Sufyan say: A disciple is a supporter.
