Zayd b. Thabit: Difference between revisions

'''Zayd b. Thābit b. Ḍaḥḥāk''' (Arabic: زید بن ثابت بن ضحاک, d. 45 A.H./ 665) was one of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]'s [[Sahaba]] (companions). He is also called "al-Ansari al-Najjari", since although he grew up in [[Mecca]], he was originally from the [[Banu Najjar]] branch of the [[Khazraj]] tribe in [[Yathrib]]. On some accounts, he is mentioned as a scribe of the [[revelation]] among the [[Ansar]]. He assisted the three first [[Rashidun Caliphs]], but he did not pledge his allegiance to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. At the time of [[Hijra]] (Muslims' emigration to [[Medina]]), Zayd was 11 years old, and he died at the age of 56.
