Zayd's father, [[Haritha b. Sharahil]], was from the [[Banu Kalb al-Quda'a]] tribe and his mother, [[Su'da bt. Tha'laba b. 'Amir]] was from [[Banu Ma'n]] of the [[Tayy]] tribe. He was called "Zayd al-Hubb" (Arabic: ّزید الحب), that is, the beloved Zayd, because he was loved by [[the Prophet (s)]]. Zayad was a slave at first and was then emancipated by the Prophet (s), and this is why Zayad and his son, [[Usama b. Zayd|Usama]], are called the Prophet (s)'s mawali (slaves).

There is no accurate information about his date of birth. During the period of [[jahiliyya]] (or the pre-Islamic days of Arabs), Zayd visited the [[Banu Ma'n]] tribe with his mother. The tribe was then attacked by its enemy, and Zayd was captivated. He was 8 years old when [[Hakim b. Hazam]] purchased him for [[Khadija]] in a slave market near [[Mecca]]. After her marriage with [[the Prophet (s)]], [[Khadija]] bestowed Zayd to the Prophet (s). The Prophet (s) emancipated Zayd and then kept him in his house. The Prophet (s) is said to have been 10 years older than Zayd.
