270 – Yahya ibn ʿAbd Allah related to us that Safiyya bint ʿAbd al-Muttalib would rock al-Zubayr in her arms and chant:

By your father! My little boy is quick-witted yet artless;
Still, he is a noble steed of ancient pedigree,
Protector of the rightful, illustrious and trusted.
He strikes down the shrewd and the straggling alike,
Never sluggish, never inept.
