Is the statement attributed to some of the Tabi'in true that Ibn al-Zubayr is the knight of the caliphs and Nawf al-Bakali, and is there any mention of that in the Book of Allah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The tradition mentioned regarding Nawf Al-Bikali, it is understood that by "the revealed Book of Allah," he meant the previous scriptures, not the Quran, as Nawf was known for his knowledge of Isra'iliyat (Judeo-Christian traditions). He used this phrase in other contexts, intending it to refer to the previous scriptures.
