Summary
He was on Umara ibn Hazm's camel; Ibn Ishaq describes him as a hypocrite. A saying about the straying of the Prophet's she-camel is attributed to him — the Prophet told them where the she-camel was — and people differ on his repentance. 1
In the Tabuk expedition
Ibn Ishaq names him "Zayd ibn al-Lusayt al-Qaynuqa'i"; he was on Umara ibn Hazm's mount, and Ibn Ishaq describes him as having been a hypocrite. 1 Ibn Hisham said it is also said "ibn Lusayb" with a b. 1 A saying about the straying of the Prophet's she-camel is attributed to him; the Prophet told them of the saying and of the she-camel's place, and it was found where he described. 2 Ibn Ishaq said some people claim he repented after that, while others said he never ceased to be suspected of evil until he perished. 3
