Background and Participation in Battles

According to a narration, Hazrat Huraith^(ra) bin Zaid Ansari’s name is also recorded as Zaid bin Tha‘labah. He belonged to the Banu Zaid bin Harith branch of the Khazraj tribe. He participated in the Battle of Badr along with his brother, Hazrat Abdullah^(ra) – he was the one who was shown a vision regarding the Azan [Muslim call to prayer]. He also participated in the Battle of Uhud (Usdul Ghaba, Vol. 1, pp. 717-718, Huraith bin Zaid^(ra), Dar-ul-Kutub Al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 2003). His brother was also taught the words of the Azan in a dream.
