The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, “Who will bring me the information about the enemy on the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. Clans)?” Az-Zubair (radiallaahu `anhu) said, “I will.” The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said again, “Who will bring me the information about the enemy?” Az-Zubair (radiallaahu `anhu) said again, “I will.” The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, “Every prophet had a disciple and my disciple is Az-Zubair. “

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 100 :
Narrated by Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu)
When the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) called the people (Sadqa, a sub-narrator, said, ‘Most probably that happened on the day of Al-Khandaq), Az-Zubair (radiallaahu `anhu) responded to the call (i.e. to act as a reconnoiter). The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) called the people again and Az-Zubair (radiallaahu `anhu) responded to the call. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) then said, “Every prophet had a disciple and my disciple is Zubair bin Al-‘Awwam.”

There are a lot of other virtues of Zubair (radiallaahu `anhu), most of them have to do with bravery. I’ll save you the trouble of reading, just watch the following video:
