Zayd ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar

Zayd ibn Abdallah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him), a Medinan Successor of the family of Umar ibn al-Khattab, born during his grandfather's caliphate; al-Taqrib grades him "trustworthy, of the second layer" ¹.

Ibn Hajar writes in al-Taqrib: Zayd ibn Abdallah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab — trustworthy, of the second layer, born during his grandfather's caliphate; al-Bukhari, Muslim, al-Nasa'i and Ibn Maja narrate from him ¹. The Kashif al-Dhahabi material embedded in this edition adds: he transmitted from his father, and Nafi' the client of Ibn Umar and his grandson Umar ibn Muhammad transmitted from him ¹.

He grew up in a house of learning in Quraysh: his father Abdallah ibn Umar was among the most prolific hadith transmitters of the Companions, and his grandfather was Umar ibn al-Khattab; being born during his grandfather's caliphate makes him one of the older sons of Abdallah ibn Umar ¹.

Zayd ibn Abdallah ibn Umar was the grandson of the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab; he was born while his grandfather ruled, grew up in a house of learning, and narrated from his father while the people of Medina narrated from him.
