For anyone wanting to get straight to where zayla'i is mentioned

The Tihāmah

The book that guy referenced was written around the mid to late 18th century and it honestly matches up well with this source I found off wikipedia

I just want to know how did people come to start doing shirk on his name

Didn't know Arabs did trial of fire, it seems to be deeply woven into Afroasiatic culture.

"Bisha'a" (Arabic: بِشْعَة), which translates to "trial by fire" or "ordeal by fire," is a ritualistic practice used by some Muslim Bedouin tribes in the Judean, Negev, and Sinai deserts, as well as some Bedouin tribes in Saudi Arabia, for the purpose of lie detection.

“The "Jabarti law" in Yemen refers to a traditional system of water rights and conflict resolution, particularly in irrigation disputes, named after Ismail Jabarti, and drafted to resolve conflicts between farmers on water at the end of the 14th century.”.
