He was called "Zayd al-Hubb" (Arabic: ّزید الحب), that is, the beloved Zayd, because he was loved by [[the Prophet (s)]]. Zayd was a slave at first and was then emancipated by the Prophet (s), and this is why Zayd and his son, [[Usama b. Zayd|Usama]], are called the Prophet (s)'s [[mawali]] (slaves). | ||

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. | There is no accurate information about his date of birth.
