Zaid was very happy. He left for his country. He traveled with the desire to reach the end of his search. He crossed many roads and knocked on many doors. Finally he reached the destination. He reached the area of 'Lakhm'. The assailants caught him. When death was certain, he prayed. I could not reach my goal. I could not reach the 'Haneefi Path'. Do not block that path for my son Saeed, O Creator!. The wicked people killed him. His last prayer was accepted by Allah. Zaid's son became a Sahabi (follower of the Prophet (ﷺ ). He was hailed as one of the ten prominent ones who received the good news of entering Paradise.
The news of Zaid's death came to Mecca . Waraqat bin Naufal could not bear the death of the seeker of truth. Grief-stricken, he wrote elegiac poems. After writing about Zaid's interest in the right path, he said in the poem. 'Surely you will meet the Prophet Ibrahim. Even if you are under the earth in the length of seven valleys, you will receive the mercy of Allah. (Waqad Tudrikul Insana Rahmatu Rabbihee ..Walaw kana Tahtal Arli Sabe'ena Wadia..)
Zaid was also a good poet. Many lines are attributed to him in the scriptures that speak of the greatness of Tawheed (Monotheism). He should be considered as the true believer in One God. In later times the Prophet ﷺ praised him. It can be seen in the hadith. The beloved Prophet ﷺ said. Allah will bring him alone as a free community in the Hereafter. In another narration, the Prophet ﷺ said about Zaid . 'I have entered Paradise. I saw there two gardens belonging to Zaid ibn Amr.
Wherever there is darkness, the bright lights of the straight path remain here and there. The whole world is waiting for the arrival of a prophet. Some are traveling to the promised-land of the Prophet. Some died on the way. Some arrived early and and hoped . The world itself is ready to welcome. All eyes turn to the valley of 'Tihama'. Time waits for even the small movements in Thihama.
A place where the Banu Quraila tribe resides in Madeena . A Jewish priest from Syria came and settled there. The incident happened two years before the declaration of prophecy by the Prophet ﷺ. His name is Ibn Hayyiban. He was a material renouncer and learned in Vedas and spirituality. Gradually, he became accepted by everyone in Madeena. When there was no rain, the people of Madeena would approach him and say O ! Ibn Hayyiban pls come out and pray for us to get rain. Then he would say 'donte a bit of date or barley or something like that. Soon people will arrive with alms. Then in an open place they would gather together. They would pray for rain under the leadership of Ibn Hayyiban. The rain would pour in before the group dispersed. The people of Madeena could witness such experiences many times.
Days passed and Ibn Hayyiban fell ill. Everyone visited him. He asked, O Jews, do you know why I left home country and home and came here?
