Is the incident of Ali reminding Zubayr of the Prophet’s saying, "Do you love him?" and his fighting against him "while you are an oppressor" authentic, and is the hadith mentioned therein authentic?
This mentioned has been narrated through multiple chains, but none of them are authentic, as they are all weak or defective due to the weakness or unknown status of their narrators, or the discontinuity of their chains of transmission.
The scholars have stated that Al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), and other Companions, did not go out on the Day of the Camel or any other day with the intention of fighting, but rather for reconciliation. However, fighting occurred against their will, as the killers of Uthman feared that the Companions would unite against them, so they initiated the attack, and conflict ensued without the Companions' intention. It is obligatory to refrain from discussing the disputes that occurred among the Companions.
