Zayd ibn Arqam

"This is a Sahaba of Muhammad"

When Zaid was older, he retold the hadith of the two weighty things, during the Banu Umayyad rule. One version is quoted in Sahi Muslim where he, after being asked several times, tells about the event and unwillingly concludes that Muhammad's wives are not part of the Ahl ul-Bayt. In another version, he gives a more vague answer. He was the first person in Islam to give his home for the first namaz/salah in Islam, which was led by Muhammad. It was in his house where Caliph Umar converted to Islam.

He gave allegiance to Abu Bakr, when Ali did so Tarikh al-Yaqubi, as quoted in Peshawar Nights on [http://www.al-islam.org/ Al-islam.org] [http://www.al-islam.org/peshawar/7.2.html] . Also, a list composed of sources such as Ibn Hajar Asqalani and Baladhuri, each in his Ta'rikh, Muhammad Bin Khawind Shah in his Rauzatu's-Safa, Ibn Abdu'l-Birr in his Isti'ab ] .
