Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail at the lower side of the Baldah valley. This was before revelation had descended upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) presented a dining mat before Zaid, and meat was also placed on it. However, Zaid refused to eat and said: "I do not eat that which you slaughter in the name of your idols. I only eat that upon which Allah’s name is mentioned." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
