Sayyidah Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: In the Days of Ignorance, Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl used to stand by the Ka'bah, press his back against the Ka'bah and say: "O people of Quraysh! Apart from myself, I find no one on the face of the earth following the religion of Ibrahim." The narrator says: He had abandoned the worship of idols and had given up eating the animals slaughtered at the idols. When a girl was going to be buried alive, he would pay a ransom and save her from being killed. Amr bin Zayd bin Nufayl composed these verses: "I have set the jinn and the jann apart from me; this is what the strong and patient person does."
Tabarani recorded it; its chain is hasan (good).
