The personality and the performance of Abdullah Ben Zobeir the Sunni sources?
The broadcast of the serial '' Mokhtar Name'' along with depiction of some scenes of the life of Abdullah Ben Zobeir was common and made a lot of questions in the minds of the Sunnni and Shiite youths. Some of the Sunni scientists talked against it severely and even they announced watching it is prohibited. Most of other Sunni scientists did not believe that the grandchildren of the first caliph and the son of Zobeir Ben Avam had such personality.
As long as the serial was broadcasted on TV, a lot of persons asked us a lot of questions through their opinions and also presenting questions, basic and important questions about Abdullah Ben Zobeir and realities that had been broadcasted in the serial ( Mokhtar Name).
Hence, we have decided to ask the questions that had obsessed the minds of the people with analyzing the personality and the biography of Abdullah. There is no doubt that analyzing his personality in all of aspects needs a broad article and it is beyond our patience. Hence, we will refer to some features of his personality and behaviors briefly.
The first remark: the birth of Abdullah Ben Zobeir from Mate (with valid document)
The first point that there is about Abdullah Ben Zobeir in the Sunni books is his birth in Mete. This interesting point, since Wahhabi scientists consider Mete the centre of adultery and the unbiased issue, is considerable that the marriage of Zobeir is with Asma , the daughter of the first caliph fro Mete and Abdullah Ben Zobeir is from this marriage. Even according to these documents, he is the first child that was born from the temporary marriage after the Islam.The first narration
Abu Jafar Tahavi, the Sunni famous scientist, has written in the book '' Sharh Maani Al-Asar''حدثنا صَالِحُ بن عبد الرحمن قال ثنا سَعِيدُ بن مَنْصُورٍ قال ثنا هِشَامٌ قال أخبرنا أبو بِشْرٍ عن سَعِيدِ بن جُبَيْرٍ قال سَمِعْت عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بن الزُّبَيْرِ يَخْطُبُ وهو يُعَرِّضُ بِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَعِيبُ عليه قَوْلَهُ في الْمُتْعَةِ فقال بن عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُ أُمَّهُ إنْ كان صَادِقًا فَسَأَلَهَا فقالت صَدَقَ بن عَبَّاسٍ قد كان ذلك فقال بن عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما لو شِئْت لَسَمَّيْت رِجَالًا من قُرَيْشٍ وُلِدُوا فيها
I heard that Abdullah Ben Zobeir was sermonizing and he asked his opinion about Mete and found faults in him.
Ibn Abbas said '' if you are right, ask his mother''. He also asked his mother. His mother, Asma (the daughter of Abubakr) said '' Ibn Abbas is right''.
Ibn Abbas also said '' if want, I can mention the names of men from Ghoreish that were born from Mete.
