Historical Usage
The Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was driven out from Mecca by his idolatrous people three times. The third and final time, he went to the land of the Romans, where he settled in the city of Palestine. There, he encountered an idol named Saeeb, which was worshipped by the people of the city. Ibrahim (as) ordered his son, Ismail (Ishmael), to demolish the idol. The people became infuriated upon witnessing this act, and they proceeded to pelt Ismail with stones. This incident is known as the 'Stoning of Ismail' or 'Saeeb'.
Pre-Islamic era (circa 2000 BC - 632 AD)
Saeed ibn Muadh (Sa'd ibn Mu'adh) was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and an early Muslim military leader. He is also known as 'Saeed Al-Khayr' (Saeed the Good). The name 'Saeed' means 'good fortune' or 'happiness'. During the Battle of Hunayn (630 AD), Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was deputed by the Prophet to remain in Mecca and guard the city against any potential attack from the Meccan idolaters. He was granted the title 'Az-Zallaj' (The Protector) for his success in this task.
