Taken from His Family

Zayd was born into the Arab tribe of Kalb and was still a boy when raiders seized him and carried him off to be sold. The classical accounts say he was bought in the market of 'Ukaz by Hakim ibn Hizam for his aunt Khadijah, and that she later gave him to her husband Muhammad ﷺ.

So a child who should have grown up among his own people grew up instead in a stranger's house. Yet in that house he found a master who treated him as family, and a wife of that master who loved him as her own.
