Which Sahabi’s name is mentioned in the Holy Quran?

Hazrat Zaid bin Harith (R.A) holds a unique position in Islamic history as the only Sahabi (companion of the Prophet Muhammad, S.A.W) whose name is explicitly mentioned in the Holy Quran. His name appears in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:37), highlighting both his close relationship with the Prophet (S.A.W) and significant events in the early Muslim community. Hazrat Zaid (R.A) was originally a slave who was freed and adopted by the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), making him one of the most beloved companions. His life exemplifies loyalty, dedication, and submission to Allah’s commands.

The Quranic verse mentioning Hazrat Zaid (R.A) deals with matters of marriage and social reforms in Madinah, showing how the revelation guided the Muslim community in practical issues. His story also underscores the principle that in Islam, status is determined by piety and devotion, not lineage or wealth. Hazrat Zaid (R.A) also played a crucial role in several key battles, including the Battle of Mu’tah, and contributed greatly to the collection and preservation of the Quranic text.
