- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Abu Maʿmar narrated to me; Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ʿUrwah, who said:
Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir said to me, “Had you seen ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Zubayr standing in prayer, you would have likened him to a tree whipped by the wind. Stones from the catapult were crashing down here and there, yet he never turned to look.”
٧٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَعْمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ: لَوْ رَأَيْتَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي لَقُلْتَ: شَجَرَةٌ تَصْفُقُهَا الرِّيَاحُ، وَحِجَارَةُ الْمَنْجَنِيقِ تَقَعُ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا مَا يَلْتَفِتُ "
