family

Saīd bin Zaid was the son of Zayd bin Amr from the Banū ʿAdī clan of the Quraish in Mecca . His father was murdered in 605 and Saīd had more than 30 children by at least 11 different women.

Conversion to Islam

Sa'id became a Muslim in 614. His wife Fatima was also an early convert to Islam. At first they kept their beliefs a secret because Fatima's brother Umar was a prominent persecutor of Muslims. One day Umar entered her house while Khabbab was reading and demanded to know what the chant was. When they denied anything had been read, Umar grabbed Sa'id and threw him to the ground. Fatima got up to defend her husband, and Umar hit her so hard that she bled. The couple admitted that they were Muslims. At the sight of the blood, Umar regretted what he had done and asked what they had read.

Emigration to Medina

Sa'id joined 622 of the general Hijrah -emigration to Medina and initially lodged in a house of Rifa'a ibn Abdul-Mundhir. He was named brother in Islam by Rafi ibn Malik of the Zurayq clan ; an alternative tradition in Islam calls his brother Talha ibn ʿUbaidallāh . Sa'id and Talha missed the Battle of Badr because Mohammed sent them ahead as a scout to report on the movements of the caravan in Abu Sufyan ibn Harb. Upon hearing that they had missed the caravan, they returned to Medina and found that Mohammed and his army had already reached Badr. They made their way to Badr and met the returning victorious army in turban. However, Muhammad gave them some of the booty as if they were present.
