Triumph Against Yasir

During the Battle of Khaybar, when the well-known Jewish leader Marhab was killed by Hazrat Muhammad bin Maslamah (ra), his brother Yasir came to the battlefield and declared:

مَنْ يُّبَارِز

Meaning, “Who will challenge me?”

Hazrat Zubair (ra) stepped forward to challenge him. Hazrat Safia (ra) said to the Holy Prophet (sa), “O Messenger of Allah (ra), it seems that my son will be martyred today.” The Holy Prophet (sa) said, “No, rather your son will kill him.” Hazrat Zubair (ra) stepped forward to challenge Yasir and killed him.
