Ḥabīb ibn Zayd al-Anṣārī (Arabic: حبيب بن زيد الأنصاري) sahaba and martyr of Islam.
Habib accompanied his parents, aunt and brother to Mecca with the group of 75 people who pledged loyalty to Muhammad at Aqabah.
Musaylamah's influence spread and Muhammad chose Habib ibn Zayd to deliver another letter inviting him to abandon his claims.
Musailama thereupon ordered his henchman to cut off another part of Habib's body, which fell to the ground beside the other severed limb.
Faced with Musaylamah's persistent questioning and the blows of his henchman, Habib kept on repeating: "I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God."
The day she wished for arrived after the death of Muhammad when Abu Bakr declared war on the imposter.
The Muslim army that confronted the forces of Musailama included Habib's mother Nusaybah and his brother Abdullah ibn Zayd.
