Maulana Zainul abideen was very close to Hazrathji Maulana Inam ul Hassan (ra) and was one of the 10 shura members created by Hazrathji to choose an ameer after him.

Maulana Zainul Abideen was very close to Haji Abdul Wahab Sahab . Maulana many a times used to say the incident that occurred during Partition of India and Pakistan. When it was Publicly announced by British Government about the Partition of India. A Mashwara was conducted about efforts of Tablighi jamaat in Pakistan. Maulana Ilyas(ra) after a very emotional speech asked the members present there as who was ready to serve their life for the efforts of Tabligh in Pakistan, All the people present there were the residents of Current India. After a gap of silence Haji abdul Wahab sahab raised his hand and said that he would dedicate his life for efforts of Tabligh in Pakistan. At that very movement Maulana Zain ul abideen also raised his hand for same Purpose . He used to say that from that very movement i always was a hand behind Haji Abdul Wahab in every Kahir that occured in efforts of Tabligh. He used to regret as what made him delay in raising his hand before Haji sahab. He deeply loved and admired Haji Abdul Wahab though the latter was not even Hafiz or Alim while Former being a renowned Mufti.
One of most incident that Maulana Saad (db) used to describe about him was that which occurred at the time of Maulana Ilyas (ra), where in once Mufti Zainul abideen was residing in Markaz Nizamuddin, he was waiting for to lead a Jamaat which was still to be completed, Some members of Jamaat were About to Join After a week . Mufti Zainul abideen took the Permission of Maulana Ilyas(ra) to visit the renowned Khanqa of Maulana Khaeel Saharanpuri, Maulana Ilyas gave him permission but said him to come a day before the rawangi of Jamaat, Mufti sahab went to the Khanqa and was so much involved in the spiritual environment that he forgot to return to markaz on time instead he was late for 3 days. Maulana Ilyas became very worried and wrote a letter to Hazrath Shaik Maulana Zakariya describing the incident of Mufti sahab. Hazrath shaik immediately wrote a letter to Mufti sahab in which the main point was "Inferadi aamaal ke pahaard ijtemai aamaal ke zarrey ke barabar nahi hosaktey, Aap fauri Markaz ko rawana hojaiye" {"The Mountains of Independent deeds are not even equal to the small particles of Group deeds, You must immediately return to markaz" }. Many a times Maulana Saad sahab on visit to Raiwand Markaz during the Annual Raiwand IJTEMA requested mufti Sahab to tell that incident mentioned above. Once Mufti sahab forgot to say that incident and was about to end the bayaan so maulana Saad [who was in his twenties ] came close to him and reminded mufti sahab to please tell the incident before ending the bayaan, mufti sahab smiled at Maulana saad and said that incident before ending the bayaan.
