Urwah ibn al-Zubayr

Urwah ibn al-Zubayr was one of the greatest of the tabi'un and one of the first scholars of the seerah. The son of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam RA and Asma bint Abi Bakr RA and grandson of Abu Bakr RA, he was born after the Prophet ﷺ's death. As the nephew of Aisha RA he could speak with her directly, and became the foremost narrator of her hadith and her accounts of the Prophet ﷺ's life. Many well-known reports of the seerah come through him, though later scholars corrected some of his positions as an early authority. He died in 94 AH.
