Overview
Zayd ibn Adi al-Ibadi, author of the denunciation that he arranged before Khusraw against al-Nu'man ibn al-Mundhir, king of al-Hira. Khusraw became angry with al-Nu'man and sent for him. al-Nu'man deposited his family and property with Hani ibn Mas'ud, then went to Khusraw, who imprisoned him until he died 1 2. That was the first link in the chain that ended in the day of Dhu Qar 1.
What is not covered here
al-Raheeq does not give the content of the denunciation or its motive (the killing of al-Nu'man's father Adi ibn Zayd, in the account of the narrators). Only what the book says is recorded here.
For young visitors
Zayd was a man of the court of Khusraw who denounced the king of al-Hira, and Khusraw imprisoned him until he died.
