Verse range: 3:53
Al-Hawariyyun said: "We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims. Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger; so write us down among those who bear witness.'' Hawari in Arabic - means `support'. The Two Sahihs recorded that; when the Prophet encouraged the people to fight during the battle of Al-Ahzab, Az-Zubayr came forward, and again, when the Prophet asked for fighters a second time. The Prophet said,
إن لكل نبي حواريا وحواريي الزبير
Every Prophet has a Hawari, and Az-Zubayr is my Hawari. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn Abbas said about,
فاكتبنا مع الشاهدين
(so write us down among those who bear witness), "Meaning among the Ummah of Muhammad.'' This Hadith has a good chain of narration. The Jews Plot to Kill `Isa Allah tells;
ومكروا ومكر الله والله خير الماكرين
