PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS SLAVERY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HUMAN RIGHTS Print
Elif Eryarsoy Aydin   

23. Zayd

Abu Musa reported that Zayd, whose father's name was Bawla, was one of the former slaves of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Zayd was captured in the Battle of Bani Salaba as part of the booty of Prophet Muhammad, who then set him free (Tabarani, al Mu'jam al Kabir, C, p. 89; Nawavi, Tahzib al Asma, I, p. 54; Ibn Hajar, al Isaba, II, p. 290).

There is only one hadith narrated by Zayd (Tirmizi, "Da'awat" 117). We do not know where or when he died.
