1037 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn ʿAbbad narrated to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, saying: I heard Hisham ibn ʿUrwah relate that Ibn al-Munkadir said to me, “Had you seen Ibn al-Zubayr while he was performing salah (ritual prayer), you would have likened him to a branch of a tree being shaken by the wind. Even when stones from the manjaniq (catapult) were landing here and there, he paid them no mind.”
١٠٣٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ لِي ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ: لَوْ رَأَيْتَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي لَقُلْتَ: غُصْنُ شَجَرَةٍ تَصْفُقُهَا الرِّيحُ، وَإِنَّ الْمَنْجَنِيقَ لَيَقَعُ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا مَا يُبَالِي "
