The Importance of Monotheism

Zayd was the cousin of Amr ibn Al-Hat-Bab radiAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. His greatest persecutor was the father of Amr, who would beat Zayd so much that he could no longer bear to come out and live in Mecca. He had a reddish skin color, meaning he was fair skinned. In the year of the famine, Al-Mrul-Dul-Dil-Tahranhul abstained from food and because of his abstaining, particularly for meat, that he actually changed colors.
