[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned it and said, "A nation will be sent on the Day of Judgment between me and Jesus."  

وَذَكَرُهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أُمَّةً وَحْدَهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عِيسَى»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and was reciting verses to a group of idols. We then slaughtered a sheep for him and prepared it for him until it was cooked. Then the messenger of Allah ﷺ walked, while reciting verses, on a hot day in Mecca, until we reached the highest point of the valley. There, Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl met him and greeted the other person with the greeting of the pre-Islamic era. The messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Why do I see your people mocking you?" He replied, "By Allah, it is not because they have heard anything from me, but because I see them being misguided. So I went out in search of this religion until I arrived in Yathrib where I found people worshiping Allah alone and associating partners with Him." I said, "What is this religion I'm seeking?" So I continued on until I reached the Jews of Khaybar and found them worshiping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said, "What is this religion I'm seeking?" Then I proceeded until I reached the Jews of Fadak and found them worshiping Allah and associating partners with Him. I said, "What is this religion I'm seeking?" Then a scholar from the scholars of Sham (Syria) said to me, "Are you asking about a religion that we don't know of anyone worshiping Allah alone with, except for a sheikh in the Arabian Peninsula? So I went to him and informed him of what I was searching for." He said to me, "Indeed, everyone who you see in misguidance, if he is calling to a religion, it is the religion of Allah and His angels. A prophet has emerged in your land or soon will emerge calling to it. So return and believe in him and follow him." I did not encounter another prophet after that, and I am the messenger of Allah ﷺ , riding on the camel that was beneath me. We then brought him the cooked meat, and he said, "What is this?" We said, "We slaughtered this sheep for such and such idol." He said, "I do not eat anything that has been sacrificed to anyone other than Allah." Then we dispersed, and there were two idols made of copper called Isaf and Na'ilah. The messenger of Allah ﷺ circumambulated them, and I followed him. When I passed by one of them, I touched it. The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not touch it." We completed the circumambulation, and I said to myself, "I will touch it to see what he says." So I touched it and the messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not touch it. Did I not forbid you?" He said, "By the One who honored him and revealed the book to him, he did not accept a representative until he was honored with what he was honored with and the book was revealed to him." It was also said that Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl died before the prophet ﷺ was sent, and the messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A nation will come on the Day of Judgment alone."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that he met Zaid bin ʿAmr Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had happened before Messenger of Allah ﷺ received the Divine Inspiration. Messenger of Allah ﷺ presented a dish of meat (that had been offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin ʿAmr, but Zaid refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), "I do not eat of what you slaughter on your stonealtars (Ansabs) nor do I eat except that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned on slaughtering." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5499)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ بِأَسْفَلِ بَلْدَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سُفْرَةً فِيهَا لَحْمٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَا آكِلُ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى أَصْنَامِكُمْ وَلَا آكُلُ إِلَّا مَا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ» حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
