زيد بن علي
Non-Zaidi accounts state the term Rafida was a term used by Zayd ibn Ali on those who rejected him in his last hours for his refusal to condemn the first two Caliphs of the Muslim world, Abu Bakr and Umar. Zayd bitterly scolds the "rejectors" ("Rafidha") who deserted him, an appellation used by Salafis to refer to Twelver Shi'ites to this day.
