Biographies-History

Scholars have greatly praised Zaid ibn Thaabit. Ibn Abdul-Barr said “They say that Zaid excelled others in two things: The Quran and the knowledge of the law of inheritance.” Malik ibn Anas said: “The people’s leader in al-Madinah after Umar was Zaid. And the people’s leader after Zayd was Abdullah ibn Umar. Ibn Sad reported that Zayd was one of the six prominent leaders in Fatwa among ‘Umar, Ali, Ibn Masoud, Ubayy, and Abu Musa.”

He was a scholar who illuminated the world with his knowledge and who revived certain aspects of the Prophet’s Sunnah that would otherwise have been forgotten.
