Cleanup

Looks like a definite keep on AfD, so I've added a cleanup tag. Needs to be rewritten in encyclopedic tone/language as well as copyedited.--Isotope23 17:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Ibn Saad, Caliph Umar had two sons named Zayd.

Zayd "the Younger" was actually the elder. His mother was Umm Kulthum bint Jarwal, whom Umar divorced in 628.

Zayd "the Elder" (i.e., "more important"??) was the son of Umm Kulthum bint Ali, whom Umar married in 638.Petra MacDonald (talk) 10:05, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moved over

I move the following over from the article on Sa'id ibn Zayd. It needs a lot of clean-up. Therefore I am playing it here:

Zaid (Zayd) was so temperate that even before the advent of Islam he refused to accept the meat offered to gods as sacrifice and said boldly, “I do not partake of the meat of animals sacrified to your gods……”

Although he did not believe in idol-worship, he wondered about the path that leads to one God - Allah. He travelled far and wide in search of the truth. He met the learned rabbis among the Jews.

He visited Christian priests and put before them his spiritual dilemma. They said, “You will find pure ‘Tauhid' (belief in one God) only in Deen-e-Haneef. Zaid said, “What is Deen-e-Haneef?” They explained, “Deen-e-Haneef is the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him)”.

Zaid returned to Mecca with the name of Deen-e-Ibrahim and a great curiosity for it. People would see him often sitting with his back to the wall under the Holy Ka ‘ba, and saying “By Allah, none among you, besides me, adheres to the religion of Ibrahim.”

As he was passing through the territory of Lakhm on the southern border of Syria he was attacked by a group of nomadic Arabs and killed before he could set eyes on the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. However, before he breathed his last, he raised his eyes to the heavens and said:

"O Lord, if You have prevented me from attaining this goodness, do not prevent my son from doing so."

This pious man died with a burning desire in his heart to see Deen-e-Hanif in its complete and pure form.

Thanks for not discarding this information. It concerns a notable person who deserves his own article.

However, this is the wrong Zayd. His name was Zayd ibn 'Amr (not Umar) and he died in 605 or 606.Petra MacDonald (talk) 10:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
