MCQ Detailed View

Urwa bin Zubair was the primary individual who recorded and transmitted the Hadiths narrated by Hazrat Ayesha (R.A), one of the most respected female companions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Urwa was her nephew — the son of her sister Asma bint Abu Bakr — and had close access to her, which allowed him to receive deep knowledge from her teachings and narrations.

Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) is considered among the most knowledgeable companions in Islamic history, especially in matters related to Hadith, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and the life of the Prophet (ﷺ). She reported over 2,000 Hadiths. Due to her intimate life with the Prophet (ﷺ), she narrated many details that others could not access. Urwa bin Zubair took full advantage of this closeness and became one of the Tabi'een (Successors) known for their reliability in Hadith transmission.

Urwa became a great scholar of Madinah and is known as one of the "Seven Fuqaha (jurists) of Madinah." His role in collecting and preserving the sayings of Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) is crucial in the science of Hadith. His narrations are found in major Hadith collections including Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
