Sa'id ibn Zayd
Saʿīd bin Zayd bin ʿAmr bin Nufayl bin ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā al-ʿAdawī al-Qurashī (Arabic: سَعِيد بْن زَيْد بْن عَمْرو بْن نُفَيْل بْن عَبْد ٱلْعُزَّى ٱلْعَدَوِيّ ٱلْقُرَشِيّ; c. 593-671), also known by his kunya Abūʾl-Aʿwar Arabic: أَبُو ٱلۡأَعْوَر (Lit. 'Father of the One-Eyed'), was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a brother-in-law of Umar.
Sa'id has been described as a tall, hairy, dark-skinned man.
Sa'id became a Muslim not later than 614. His wife Fatima was also an early convert. At first they kept their faith secret because Fatima's brother Umar was a prominent persecutor of Muslims. Khabbab ibn al-Aratt often visited their house and read the Qur'an to Fatima.
One day Umar entered their house while Sa'id was reading and demanded to know what the "balderdash" was. When they denied that anything had been read, Umar seized Sa'id and knocked him to the floor. Fatima stood up to defend her husband, and Umar hit her so hard that she bled. The couple admitted that they were Muslims. At the sight of the blood, Umar was sorry for what he had done, and asked to see what they had been reading. It was Ta-Ha, later to become the twentieth Surah of the Qur'an. Impressed by the beauty of the words, Umar decided to become a Muslim.
Sa'id joined the general emigration to Medina in 622 and at first lodged in the house of Rifa'a ibn Abdul-Mundhir. He was made the brother in Islam of Rafi ibn Malik of the Zurayq clan; but an alternative tradition names his brother in Islam as Talha ibn Ubaydallah.
Sa'id and Talha missed the Battle of Badr because Muhammad sent them ahead as scouts to report on the movements of Abu Sufyan's caravan. When they heard that they had missed the caravan, they returned to Medina, only to find that Muhammad and his army had already reached Badr. They set out for Badr and met the returning victorious army at Turban. However, Muhammad gave them a share of the Maal-e-Ganimat (spoils of war) as if they had participated in the war.
Sa'id participated in all the other battles in which Muhammad personally fought. He served as Muhammad's secretary and recorded the verses of the Quran.
In the time of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan (r. 661–680) he was Governor of Kufa.
