What was the name of this Companion?

He was Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail. He followed the religion of Ibrahim before the Prophet (s) became the messenger and I believe he died in that state. (Meaning that he is considered a Muslim because he worshipped one God and had nothing to do with idols even though Muhammad (s) was not yet a prophet).

Incidently, his son was Sa'eed ibn Zaid, who is one of the Ashara Mubashireen (10 who are promised paradise).

Wa'alaikum as'salaam wr wb,

I'd tell you but i'm not sure which cd it is on and don't remember the name but i do remember the story. So either you could ask on an isalmic forum (http://www.islamicboard.com)/ if you want a quick answer or you could listen to the seerah of the prophet @ http://www.hoor-al-ayn.com/anwar-al-awlaki.html

ummm............ i will try my best to find out InshaAllah

if you give me sometime

but i dought if his name is mensioned

But was he the one who did so before comeing to islam? and asked the Messenger of Allah (saaw) if he'd be rewarded for that in the Hearafter, and he (saaw) said that isn't it enough that Allah has guided you for that?

Please correct me if i am wrong

I think its Abu Bakar (ra)

((Not sure))

wow is this the 1st time you asked a question here lol

I'm not sure if he was named in the Hadith...

lol pagans are way better than muslims will ever be.
