Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Muhammad narrates that Habib bin Zaid was killed by Musaylimah. In the Battle of Yamama, his brother Abdullah bin Zaid and their mother set out to fight. Their mother had sworn that she would not touch water until Musaylimah was killed. Thus, mother and son set out with the army. Abdullah bin Zaid says that he kept Musaylimah in his sight and then attacked him and struck him with a spear. Musaylimah advanced towards him with the spear, and one of the people called out to me to strike him in the mouth with the spear. He did not understand this. Then he was called out to throw the spear with his hand. He threw the spear with his hand, and Musaylimah was overpowered.
