Zoroaster

Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, Zarathushtra Spitama or Ashu Zarathushtra (Modern Persian: زرتشت, Zartosht), was an ancient Iranian spiritual leader who founded what is now known as Zoroastrianism. His teachings challenged the existing traditions of the Indo-Iranian religion and inaugurated a movement that eventually became the dominant religion in Ancient Persia. He was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau, but his exact birthplace is uncertain. There is no scholarly consensus on when he lived.

Abu Lulu was a Muslim, that is why he was praying in the Masjid Al-Nabawi in the first row like any other Muslim. If he was a Zoroastrian as some people claim,he would have been forbidden from entering the Masjid like any non Muslim. I don't want to enter here in details of the reasons of what he did.

Wassalam.

We have narrations from Ahlul Bayt (AS) that the Majoos had a prophet named  Damast داماست who was killed by them, and a book  called Jamast جاماست which was burnt by them. (Wasaa'il Al-Shia 5:127) .

In Majma' Al-Faa'idah by Al--Ardabeeli : Zardosht ( Zoroaster) was their prophet. (7:438).
