Usama ibn Zayd (ra): The Prophet ﷺ’s Chosen Grandson | The Firsts | Sahaba | Dr. Omar Suleiman

About this lecture

At birth, his name was Usama ibn Zayd ibn Muhammad – but he wasn’t the Prophet ﷺ’s biological grandson. He (ra) was born into the house of the Prophet ﷺ, who showered him with love from the day of his birth. This deep love helped shape Usama (ra) into a man of outstanding character. He would go on to lead several important military expeditions before his death in Madinah. Yaqeen isn’t just a content producer, but a full-scale, research-to-media engine.
