عبد الله بن الزبير
Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr RA was the son of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam RA and the first child born to the Muslims after the Hijrah, which they took as a good omen. As a boy of four or five he sheltered with the women in the fortress during the siege of the Trench and later narrated it. In the civil strife he was one of the "Abadilah," with Abdullah ibn Umar RA and Ibn Abbas RA, who refused to fight for either side. Under the early Umayyads he founded his own caliphate in Makkah and rebuilt the Ka'bah on the foundations of Ibrahim AS, as the Prophet ﷺ had wished, until al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf retook the city, crucified him before the Ka'bah and restored its old shape.
