Conquest of Mecca
When the Holy Prophet (sa) was granted victory over Mecca, Hazrat Zubair bin al-Awwam (ra) stood on the right flank of the army, while Hazrat Miqdad bin Aswad (ra) was appointed to stand on its left flank. When the Holy Prophet (sa) entered the city of Mecca and the people felt assured [against any retribution be carried out against them], Hazrat Zubair (ra) and Hazrat Miqdad (ra) both arrived whilst mounted on their horses. The Holy Prophet (sa) stood and began to wipe the dust from their faces with his own mantle and then stated, “I have assigned two portions [of the spoil] for the cavaliers and one for those on foot. Whosoever gives a share less than this, may Allah grant them less as well.”

Whilst narrating an incident from the life of Hazrat Zubair (ra), Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra) states:
“When the Holy Prophet (sa) struck the idol, Hubal, with his staff, and it fell down in fragments, Hazrat Zubair (ra) looked at Abu Sufyan with a smile and reminded him of Uhud, stating, ‘Do you remember the day when Muslims wounded and exhausted stood by and you arrogantly shouted, “Glory to Hubal, Glory to Hubal” and that it was Hubal who gave you victory over the Muslims on the day of Uhud? But today you can see Hubal shattered before you in pieces.’ Upon this, Abu Sufyan stated, ‘Zubair (ra), let those matters go now for had there been any other god beside the God of Muhammad (sa), it would not have been possible to witness the scenes we are seeing today. Indeed, there is only one God, Who is the God of Muhammad (sa).’”
