Zayd ibn Arqam
Encyclopedia : Z : ZA : ZAY : Zayd ibn Arqam
When Zaid was older, he retold the hadith of the two weighty things, during the Banu Umayyad rule. One version is quoted in Sahi Muslim where he, after being asked several times, tells about the event and unwillingly concludes that Muhammad's wives are not part of the Ahl ul-Bayt. In another version, he gives a more vague answer.
According to Sunnis sources he did not give allegiance to Abu Bakr, until Ali supposedly did so.
