The Life of the Prophet

03

Khadijah and the first light

خديجة والوحي

He ﷺ was called al-Amin. Khadijah bint Khuwaylid hired him, then married him. She was the first to believe. Aishah later said she never envied any woman as she envied Khadijah, though she never saw her.

In the cave of Hira the angel came with Iqra. He ﷺ trembled. Khadijah wrapped him and took him to Waraqah ibn Nawfal, who named the Namus that came to Musa. She ﷺ died three years before the Hijrah, in the Year of Grief, with Abu Talib. The house was never the same.

From the Quran

From the Sunnah

When the Tarikh and Sahih al-Bukhari tell the same hour, read Bukhari as the spine.
