Hazrat Zayd ibn Harithah RA (Arabic: زيد بن حارثة) (c. 588-629 CE) was a prominent figure in the early Islamic community and the only one of sahaba whose name is spelled directly in Quran. As an adopted son of Prophet Muhammad SAW, he was an early convert to Islam and later, a military leader. He died c. 629 CE at the Battle of Mu'tah.
Zayd took part in an expedition in 629 CE. A Muslim force of 3000 men set out to raid the Byzantine city of Busra. They were intercepted at a place called Muta'h. The Battle of Mu'tah was a rare reverse for the Muslims. Hazrat Zayd RA was killed as he held the standard, as were two other leaders, Hazrat Jafar bin Abu Talib and Hazrat Abdullah bin Rawahhah. He was the first Muslim to be killed on foreign soil.
