al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam ibn Khuwaylid al-Asadi was one of the first to enter Islam, called by Abu Bakr in the years of the secret call; his mother Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib (may God be pleased with her) was the Prophet ﷺ's aunt. At Badr he was one of the Muslim army's two horsemen and held the right wing; he rode out on the scouting patrol with Ali and Sa'd that captured two camel-keepers of Quraysh. Sunnis count him among the ten promised Paradise, and al-Sallabi says he was the first to draw a sword for God's sake. His estate left lands and houses but no dinar or dirham. He died in 36 AH after withdrawing from the Battle of the Camel.
