It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we ate sahur with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), then we went out towards the mosque and the prayer was established.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, the speakers of the Ansar stood up. Among them, someone was saying, "O group of Muhajireen! Whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed any one of you to a task or position, he would also include one man from among us. Therefore, our opinion is that there should be two leaders for this government: one from among you and one from among us." And the speakers of the Ansar kept repeating this matter. Upon this, Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was from among the Muhajireen, therefore the ruler will also be from among the Muhajireen. We will be his helpers, just as we were the helpers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O group of Ansar! May Allah reward you with goodness on behalf of this tribe and keep your spokesman steadfast." Then he said, "By Allah! If you had chosen any other way besides this, we would not have agreed with you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, I was presented to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased to see me. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! This boy from Banu Najjar has memorized several surahs of the Qur'an that have been revealed to you." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was surprised and said, "Zaid! Learn the script of the Jews, for by Allah, I do not trust the Jews regarding my letters." So I began to learn their writing, and not even fifteen days had passed before I had mastered it. I used to read their letters to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would reply, I would write it.
